Matthew 28:20

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 28:20

Good Morning Jesus,
I just love You more each day! Your mercies are fresh and new as are Your teachings. 

Words that I have read many times, have a new wonder for me. Your Word is alive and I thirst to know more.

You want me to be a disciple for You. That sounds scary, LORD, me, a disciple? But, You have called me and I want to obey. Remind me that a disciple is someone who teaches Your ways, not only by word, but by example, too.

You have placed Your command before me, to love You with all my heart and soul and mind, and to love others as I love myself.

What I love about Your verse this morning, is the statement that You will never ever leave me. You are with me always. What joy and peace You give!
Amen

Genesis 14:19

Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
Genesis 14:19

Good Morning My Beautiful Father,
You are so extremely grand and wonderful, my words cannot proclaim Your majesty appropriately. I am some times frustrated that I don’t have the words to tell You how much You mean to me. Times like this, Father, I am so grateful for Your Spirit, who knows my heart and can proclaim to You how I feel. To tell You, I love You, in Your language is my heart’s desire.

As You blessed Abraham those thousands of years ago, I know today You have blessed me. When I read this scripture, my mind soars. To think I can be blessed by the Creator of heaven and earth, I want to fall down at Your feet and worship You.

Remind me how much You have blessed me, Father. Remind me to bless others with Your love. As the holidays approach, remind me not everyone has as much as I do. Open my eyes and heart to give where You lead me. As the days unfold, remind me I am Your Light Bearer to this world!
I love You!
Amen

Psalm 13:5-6

But I trust in Your unfailing love. I will rejoice because You have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord  because He is good to me.
Psalm 13:5-6

Good Morning Jesus,
Your unfailing love and faithfulness is always such a joy for me. Each morning Your mercies are new and I have a fresh start to glorify You. My past sins and failures are forgotten, it is today that You are interested in, and today I want to bring a smile to Your face!

Through this day, I will trust in You. I know Your love will surround me. I will rejoice and be glad because You have rescued me from myself. How generous You are with Your grace.

I will sing a new song today, so I will remember just how good You are to me. 

Please help me to place this scripture on my heart so I will live with the joy of Your love each day.
Amen

Philippians 1:3

Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.
Philippians 1:3

Morning Jesus!
Have I told You lately just how much I love You? You are the very best I could ever have and I adore You.

As I meet people today, please help me to give thanks to You for placing them in my life. Even if they are grumpy, remind me to pray for them and to give them some joy in their day. 

When a challenge comes up, remind me to give thanks, for I know You will help me to work it out.

Everything in my life is a blessing from You. Today I want to give You glory for all I have!
Amen

Micah 6:8

No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what He requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8

Good Morning My Jesus!
How lovely is Your creation.  As I wake this morning, I see a freshness to the dawn. I see the world coming to life for the day. You have refreshed me and given me such an amazingly beautiful world to live in.

I so enjoy Your creation now, but then I think on Your New Jerusalem, my mind can’t understand how wonderful it will be. I thank You for that hope of yet to come.

You ask so little of me, LORD, and still I can’t seem to get it right. I fall short of what You desire at every turn of the day. I get so wrapped up in my life, I forget what You ask.

So, I ask today that You will remind me what is right, not in my own thoughts and ways, but Yours. If I seem to be going in the wrong direction, please show me Your right way.

Help me to be merciful, as You are so generous to me. Help me to look past others’ mistakes and see what they are going through and encourage them.

Most of all I desire to walk super close to You all day, I want to be in Your presence and love. I want to please You with my life!
Amen

Jeremiah 17:7

But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.
Jeremiah 17:7

Morning My Jesus,
How wonderful to be able to spend time with You this morning. The air is fresh and cool, the world is wakening and I am in Your presence. Life couldn’t be more wonderful.

You have blessed me, LORD, beyond my wildest dreams. You have called me to be in Your service. Each day I’m able to come to You in a closer relationship. Each day I’m able to ask for Your forgiveness and be washed in Your mercy and grace. You are the Hope I carry with me. I want to shine for You, dear Jesus. Hold me close and always know that I love You so very much!
Amen

Isaiah 40:5

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. 
Isaiah 40:5

Good Morning My Father,
What a beautiful morning it is. I love the way the sun rays peek over the horizon announcing the sun rise. The birds are singing and I hear dogs barking. Your world is good and I praise You for being my LORD and Savior.

I want to see Your glory everywhere I turn today, Father. I want to see Your love in peoples eyes and actions. I want to know that You are working in this world, bringing people to You.

I know one day, Father, everyone will see Your Son in an instant. There won’t be any doubt, there won’t be anyone to question that He is the Mighty One of God. I praise You for the hope of that day, to see You face to face. It will be awesome for some and awful for others.

LORD, I want to be instrumental in bringing people to You. I want to love them so they know just how much You love. I want to encourage them as You encourage me each morning. For me to help bring people to You, LORD, I know first I have to be with You, they have to see You through me.

Start with me today, Father, to mold and shape me into the person You know I can be. Let Your Words be on my lips and Your love in my heart.
Amen

Psalm 73:28

But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things You do.
Psalm 73:28

Good Morning Jesus!
How wonderfully peaceful it is to be with You this morning. You are my God and I long for more time with You. I want to be in Your Word today and discover amazing truths You have there. Instead of You walking with me today, I wish to walk with You.

It is so good to be near You. Knowing that You are always near gives me peace and strength for each moment. To know You are my shelter, that I can run to You for protection, it gives me courage to carry on. I want to proclaim all Your goodness and beauty to everyone I meet today, LORD. And, if I need to, give me the right words so they can come to know You also.

I Love You, Jesus!
Amen

Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:13-17

Morning Jesus,
I thank You so much for the cooler mornings now. There is a hint of fall in the air. You know me so well and give me the hope of a new season, not only seasons of the year, but seasons of my life.

There are days, LORD, that I feel I’m in limbo and oh so useless.  Guard my thoughts, Father, as I know those are not from You. You have counted me worthy to serve You and be Your child.

I want today to think on the armor You have provided for me, Your Word, the Truth, Your protection and Salvation. I want to meditate on Your wisdom and follow in Your footsteps, ready to fight the battles before me, knowing You are with me. I want to be ready to love with Your love and passion.

I do love You, my Jesus.
Amen

Matthew 11:28

Then Jesus said, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 

Good Morning My Dear Savior,
Thank you for the majesty of the sunset last night and the softness of the sunrise this morning. Your skies speak of Your glory and yet I know You are so much more than that.  

When I stop and think about the Universe You created and how big and beautiful and harsh it is, I am awed by Your power. Then, when I think of the delicate wings of a butterfly, my eyes fill with tears at Your gentleness. You are so much more than this finite mind can understand.

You know me, Jesus. You know the burdens I carry and how I like to give them to You and then take them back. Please forgive me for not being able to leave them at Your feet. Help me to learn to trust You with them, that You will take care of my problems, I just have to be still and know You are God. You know so much better how to handle challenges than I do, please help me to open my hands and let them fall to the ground. You have so much more for me to do today than think on the concerns that I can’t do a thing about.

I want to think on You today, my Companion, to treasure all You have given me, to just be with You!
Amen
