Day 4 The A-Z Challenge.

-

Good morning to everyone reading this. On this forth day of the challenge the word for the day is delight.  The definition for delight is to be soft and tender but also to gain great pleasure, satifaction or happiness or rejoice over.


So how do we as believers bring delight unto God?  How do we bring him happiness and know that we bring him satisfaction? That should be our number one purpose as a born again believer.   I know the scriptures say that when a soul is born again the angels rejoice, but I really wonder how the Lord reacts? The scriptures also talk of the prodigal son when he returns home. That gives us a glimpse on what delights our Father in heaven...

But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.  Luke 15:20-24

 My friends when we come before the Father in humility and truth He delights in us!  When we want Him more than any other thing in this life, he rejoices. It should be our supreme goal each day to make Him happy. He created us in our mothers womb to bring joy to Him. For God so loved us that He sent his only begotten son to redeem us back into fellowship with Him. When we give him our hearts and desire to live for Him, and we are obedient to Him He delights is us.

Dear Jesus, thank you for dying on that cruel and cold cross.  We come before you this day. Help us to know what you delight in, and help us to give all glory to you. Show us Your joy, and help us to make you happy and help us to follow your will for our lives. AMEN.

I always see a flower before it blooms.                               Richard T Hicks 2020 I was not always like that.  Why and exactly how in the world did my perspective change over the years? I used to be completely opposite.  I was a Norman Negative and Pessimistic Peter. You name it, I was it. I seen the glass half empty never half full. I was a constant worrier about the future and lived in the past. It was as if everyday was a drudgery.   All I could see before me as all my mistakes I had made in my life. All I seen in the mirror was one big mistake. It is as if I lived mistake after mistake. I felt like a scratched up record that could not be fixed.   Before I fell asleep at night not only did my mind replay the negative from that day but it was like it domino'ed a past of bad negative choices I had made in life surfaced....  I wanted to die but was afraid to...  It would keep me up for hours tormenting my mind..... I don't really think I am the only

Dear Jesus I just want to take the time to say I appreciated all you have done for me through your sacrificial death on that dark and cruel cross.   You didn’t have to do it… but you did.   It makes me sad that you had to die to make this all possible…but you did it without hesitation.  All my love and life I owe to You… Thank you ABBA for your grace and mercy poured out upon all people on this earth.   Draw them and give them a revelation of your divine glory.  For you gave your only son.   I am so grateful to you for redeeming me so I wouldn’t have to die.   For Jesus has already been on that cross and already experienced my destruction in the grave.  He already died once for all creation.   For in Adam we have died already, but through Christ we have been made alive through that glorious resurrection by the power of your Holy Spirit.   Yes God has already done it all through the power of His Spirit.    For He has already seated us in heavenly places in Jesus.   He has given us a hop

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
