May you be unswerving in carrying out the desires of the Lord, for so He will establish you forever. 1 Chronicles 28
May you be careful to follow all the ways of God in the power of the Spirit as written in the Word of the Lord that you may possess the good land of your soul as an inheritance of the kingdom of God. 1 Chronicles 28
May you acknowledge God, your Father, and serve Him with wholehearted devotion and a willing mind, for the Lord searches your heart and understands every motive behind your thoughts; therefore, if you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him He will reject you forever. 1 Chronicles 28
May you be strong in the work of the Lord, for He has chosen you to show forth His grace as He shapes you into a living stone with which to build His sanctuary, His temple, His refuge for His people. 1 Chronicles 28
May you be strong and courageous in the work of the Lord, for God is with you and will not fail you or forsake you, but will be with you in power and strength to finish all the work for the perfecting of the saints. 1 Chronicles 28
May you give freely and wholeheartedly of yourself to the Lord, rejoicing in the opportunity to be productive in the service of God. 1 Chronicles 29
May you give thanks and praise to the glorious name of the Lord from everlasting to everlasting, for the greatness and the power, the glory, the majesty and the splendor, everything in heaven and earth is His, Who is exalted as head and ruler over all things, and in Whose hands are the strength and power to give wealth and honor, and to exalt, for His is the kingdom forever. 2 Chronicles 29
May your hands give willingly and with honest intent, knowing that everything comes from God, and you can only give what comes from His hand, since your days on earth are like a shadow, without hope unless the Lord, Who tests the heart and is pleased with integrity, keeps this desire in your heart, and keeps your heart loyal to Him, with a wholehearted devotion to follow His ways and obey His word, doing everything the Spirit prompts that you may be transformed into the image of His Son. 2 Chronicles 29
Seek My face, My child, in order to see My love for you. Draw near to Me so that you may gaze upon My countenance of compassion for you and understand that I am for you fully, My precious one. Hear My Spirit speaking the truth of My willingness to give you all that I have, and to stay with you always, even to the end, as you follow Me in all that I lead you in.
Seek My heart, My willing one, in order to feel the sorrow and the joy I have for My creation. Light and dark, galaxies and stars and planets, water and air and land, plants and fish and birds and animals, and the sons of Adam, all bring sorrow to My heart for the stain of sin which has brought the curse of death and decay upon that which I designed with love and created with pleasure. As you lean into My breast, My dear one, feel My heart fill with joy at each one of My children who turn to Me and reach out for the grace which My blood has bought, freeing them from the darkness and lifting them into the light of My glorious life.
Seek My mind, My wondering one, and realize that you are always in My thoughts, to keep you safe, to guide you on the correct path, to teach you My ways, to train you in the work of My family, to prepare you for the courts of heaven, to equip you to be My child, walking in maturity and bearing the image of your Elder Brother, who has rescued you from sin and removed all shame from your life.
Find Me in My Word through My Spirit, as you hunger and thirst for My righteousness. Read My scriptures and hear My voice, for both together bring balance. Be whole in My love and complete in My compassion, My child, that you may know Me even as you are known by Me.
May you, for whom Christ died while you were still powerless in the grip of sin, receive God’s demonstration of His love for you, by which, once you had been justified by His blood, you will also so much more be saved from God’s wrath through Him! Romans 5
May you, though once God’s enemy but now reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, be saved, continually, progressively, and ultimately, through His life so that you rejoice in God through the Lord Jesus Christ! Romans 5
May you walk in integrity, work in righteousness, speak truth from the heart, hold no slander on your tongue, do your neighbor no wrong, cast no slurs, separate yourself from those the Lord rejects and honor those who fear the Lord, keeping your promise whatever the cost, lending without interest and rejecting all bribes, for those who do these things will never be moved, shook, or upended, but will stand firm forever in Christ. Psalm 15
May you accept the Father’s discipline and the Spirit’s chastening while there is still time, before hope is fled, for God has no desire for your soul to be shamed. Proverbs 19:18
