Friend, there is a fountain we can freely come to satisfy our thirst that will never dry out. Spiritual refreshment for the day ahead. Hope to cling to when we feel parched and depleted. Jesus Christ is the quencher of our soul’s desire and He said, “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life,” (John 4:14). Come, and be filled.

Friends, billions of hearts, minds, arms, and legs have walked the face of this earth. But none are you. The intricacies that consist of the makeup of your person are uniquely designed by the Creator. When He fashioned you, He saw the beauty of who you are and would become. You are a designer original who can say with King David, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made…” (Psalm 139:14). Yes, you are.

Friends, sometimes it is hard to keep doing good. Sometimes, life does not play fair. But when I think about the goodness of Jesus, when I consider and meditate on His grace and mercy towards me, how can I dare not share the same goodness with my fellow man? Know this: Nothing we do for Christ will ever go unnoticed by the Father, and “Whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:8).

Friends, some days it seems as if peace surrounds our very life, and others it feels like war. Regardless of the circumstances we face today, the war we face daily, knowingly or unknowingly, is real, and to keep our standing sure and steadfast we are encouraged to suit up against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness (Eph. 6:12). Our Heavenly Father has supplied the means for daily victory, armament to help amid these spiritual contentions. Still, we are the ones that must “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11; for more encouragement, click here).

Friend, isn’t it encouraging to know that no dismal state, regardless of how low the clouds may hang or how much shade is cast over one, who we are or were, through Christ, is made totally new. The grace of His love and sacrifice given to us is a picture so wonderful, who would not want to turn to Him and receive this great exchange? For He will “Give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified” (Isaiah 61:3).

Friend, it is the soul’s consolation to know that when we come before our Heavenly Father, there is no turning away because of background or social status. Lineage is not a prerequisite to being called His and to receive His blessings, nor is one’s economic standing. The only requirement is to believe and trust in Him, knowing that no matter who you are or where you hail from, “He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great” (Psalm 115:13).

Friend, what a beautiful word “ended” shall be. It signals rest, completion, ceasing, and finishing. It is forever putting to bed contentions, strife, fighting, and hurting; reasons for tears and upsets, knowing in our Lord it is all finally over. The reward ahead is sure for God is our sure foundation. It will not slip through the fingers of faith. The days of toiling have an expiration date and we will lay ahold of that glorious promise: “For the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended” (Isaiah 60:20).

Friends, in you the living God has imparted His Spirit. In you, is what the world longs for though they don’t know it yet. In you, the Son has come to dwell. In you, the richest gift of heaven has been bestowed. In you, is that spoken of Glory from on high. In you, through Christ, is the fullness of God: “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” (Ephesians 3:17-19).

Friends, where has the focus of your heart rested today? It is good to come to the place of remembrance and think about all the Lord has done for us and what He has brought us through. The psalmist said, “I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands” (Psalm 143:5). Like a daily vitamin, it is nourishing for the soul to spend time reflecting on the Lord’s hand in one’s life and letting the thoughts thereof build one’s faith even stronger.

Friends, there may be days when we feel like a disassembled puzzle with pieces scattered here and there. But nothing can be further from the truth. In Christ, you are complete. You are wholly beautiful. While our lives and spaces may get disorganized at times, we are well put together and held by our completeness in Christ: “And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power” Colossians 2:10, NKJV
