For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10

Good Morning My Love,
Again this morning it is so wonderful to be with You. I love the way You talk to me through Your Word. I’m amazed at the way You, Spirit, help me understand. All this so I can be closer to my Creator. I love You!

When I look at myself in the mirror, LORD, I don’t see a masterpiece. I see my body sagging and the age creeping up. I see all my faults, both outside and inside. I know my attitudes and I don’t always like them.

Yet, Your Word this morning doesn’t suggest, but tells me I am Your masterpiece. You created me and love me. I want to claim that today, I am Your Masterpiece, Your fingerprints are all over me. You have blessed me with a new Spirit in Jesus and I need to remember that!

You haven’t given me all these things, Jesus, just to make me better. You have blessed me so I can be a blessing to others and tell them about You. I am not only Your Masterpiece, I am Your example in my corner of the world. Help me today to be worthy and shine for You!
Amen

God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right.
Psalm 7:10

Good Morning My Love!
How wonderful to be here with You this morning. The weather is getting warmer and I’m enjoying the days of summer. It always seems to be a bit slower now and I’m getting the rest You provide.

Father, You are my shield. You protect me from so much, more than I would ever guess. You keep me safe when I sleep and make my path smooth for the days.

When I get anxious, You provide Your Word to calm my heart.

When I am sad, Your Word gives me hope and comfort.

When my heart is happy, You dance with me.

You are everything to me!

As I go through the day, Father, show me where I need to keep my heart true to You. Give me Your guiding light so I will stay close to You.
Amen

Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Each day proclaim the good news that He saves. Publish His glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does. Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
He is to be feared above all gods.
1 Chronicles 16:23-25

Good Morning Yahweh,
You are the great and mighty I AM and I love You so much. To think that You have called me into a relationship with You, boggles my mind. I am so blessed by Your presence.

You give me such joy and peace, I want to shout a song to the world today, proclaiming You are my God! Everyday there is something new that You are doing in my life, so I can share the wonderful news that You save!

You want me to write my story, about what You have done for me, so others will know of Your power and love.

You ask me to tell everyone I meet about how wonderful You are, so others will know of Your grace and mercy.

It seems like a big job, Father, but I want to please You and I know that You are right here with me now and throughout the day. Walk with me so I am able to fulfill my purpose in You.
Amen

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16 -18

Good Morning Jesus!
I am so grateful for Your example You showed me when You walked this earth. You taught me how to glorify God and follow in Your footsteps.

You want me to joyful. That’s a sign that You are living with me.

You want me to always be in prayer. That’s a sign that I’m dependent on You.

You want me to be thankful, regardless of my circumstances, because it’s not the circumstances that matter, it’s how You are working in me, through them.

So when I want to be grumpy, remind me I have much to be joyful for, for You are with me. When I don’t want to talk to You, help me remember that I can’t do my life on my own. In every area of my life, please give me Your strength so I can be thankful, no matter what is happening around me.

I want to please You, Jesus. I want to shine Your glory so others can know the joy I have in You. I love You so very much.
Amen

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread Your protection over them, that all who love Your Name may be filled with joy. For You bless the godly, O Lord; You surround them with Your shield of love.
Psalm 5:11-12

Good Morning Jesus!
Thank You so very much for the beautiful blue sky You have blessed me with this morning. Only You could come up with such a pure and wonderful color to place around Your world.

I thank You, Jesus, for being my refuge. When things go wrong, I can come to You in my private room and let You renew my strength.

I can step into Your protective arms and know Your strength, all I have to do is turn into Your embrace.

You do all this, so I can sing Your praises to the world around me. Your name is my strength and Your love my reason to keep on going.

How wonderful is Your name, my LORD. I want to keep it on my lips all day long!
Amen

Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of His understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31

Good Morning My LORD!
Thank You for letting my eyes fall on this scripture today. You are so good to me, knowing what I need at just the right moment.
I want to shout to the world that You are THE everlasting God, the Creator of not only the Earth, but of the huge Universe! You also created everything that is in them and sustain it all from moment to moment.
You never grow tired or weak, Your strength is never ending.
I cannot begin to understand Your thoughts or ways, nor do I even want to! Every morning I am always amazed at how You work and that’s part of the enjoyment of being Your child!
You give me Your strength when I need it and give me rest when my body is tried. There is no other like You. I want to worship You and You alone.
The best part? You pick me up and let me soar on Your wings to heights I could never imagine. You keep me close to Your side, protected and warm. I love You so very much my LORD.
Amen

But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.
Psalm 1:2-3

Good Morning My Savior!
What a gorgeous day! The sun has come up just like it always does, the birds are singing their praises to You and the peace that passes all understanding is within my heart. Even when life doesn’t go so smoothly, I know You are there. When life is grand, I want to dance all day with You. You are the love of my life!

I’m getting to be more dependent on Your Word every morning. I’m thinking on it what I’ve read throughout the day. There are even times I will still remember what I read as I fall asleep at night. You have given me a passion to delight in Your Words. Thank You!

I want to be that tree planted beside Your river of life. I want to sink my roots deep in the soil of Your Word. I want to produce the fruits that only You can grow, and share all that I have.

This morning Jesus, You have made my heart sing and my spirit soar. I love You!
Amen

Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:32

Morning Jesus,
Thank You so much for this morning. The birds are singing, the sun is up, earlier the clouds looked like big cotton balls and now the sky is that beautiful blue. There is a peace in my heart and I know You are with me. How blessed I am to know You as my LORD.

Jesus, I have to confess that I’m not always kind to others. The worst part is, sometimes  when I speak, I know I’m trying to cause hurt. Please forgive me. Help my words be Yours. Please control my tongue and help me to think before I speak.

I want to be kind to all those I meet today. Really kind, not just in actions, but in my heart. Help me to be tender as I come in contact with them. If they have hurt me, I want to forgive them, so my relationship with You can grow. Jesus, You have forgiven me when I hurt You, I ask for Your strength so I can forgive others.

Please bless my day, Jesus, with Your presence and guiding love. I love You!
Amen

Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of His body, the church.
Ephesians 4:15

Good Morning My Jesus!
As I lay in bed this morning, my first thoughts were of You. How You have loved and cared for me each moment of my life. Your presence to me is so important and I love You for just being You!

I want to grow more like You everyday, Christ. I know it’s a life journey, but I don’t want to get stalled or backslide. Each day I want to know You more, to learn from You and to be Your disciple in my corner of the world.

I want to learn Your truth, even though it may hurt. I want to love the unlovely as You do. I want people to come to know You and enjoy a friendship like I have with You.

I choose this day, Jesus, to walk close to You!

I love You!
Amen

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20

Good Morning My Precious Jesus,
You have come to wake me this morning with Your gentle words of encouragement. You strengthen me to get out of bed so I can sit and be with You. You are all I need in this life and I love You so very much!

I don’t always think of myself as a disciple, Jesus. I’m just one of Your kids. Yet, Your Word this morning reminds me that I am a disciple and You have called me into service. My service is wherever You place me at this time of my life.

I need to take this discipleship thing seriously. You are asking me to share You with someone else, to nourish and guide them closer to You. You don’t always ask me to do the big Billy Graham things, You ask me to share in my community of life, with those I love and come in contact with every day.

Please give me the words and courage I will need to do Your bidding. Help me to realize that I have just as much impact on the world as the apostles who were with You. Remind me often that You are always with me and will never leave me. 
Amen
