What He said to me today.....

He gets it period. He understands how we can feel our way through a day, but at the same time He sits there screaming His truths at us. The more powerful the word God is trying to speak into your life, the harder the enemy is going to fight you. I know this first hand. So here are a few moments into my many conversations with God today. Maybe someone else besides me needs the words as well ;-)

• The only time of your day that should define you is your time with God. All the rest is just that part of your day. What your to-do list says, what it doesn't say, how you feel about it, or even how someone else makes you feel are not what define you. God made you, He gets to say who you are. 
• God sees today like an etch and sketch. His mercies are new every morning. Don't drag the mess of yesterday or the fear of tomorrow cloud the masterpiece of today. 
• What you think about you focus on. What you focus on plays a big part in how you feel. Change your thoughts and your focus changes. Your circumstances may not, but if your focus is set, the path becomes clear. 
• Doubt, defeat, and discouragement are not from God. Therefore when those thoughts come, push delete. God doesn't think that way about you, so why are you. 

I'm thankful He gets it. I'm thankful He knew this morning what I was fighting and has been an ever present help today. I'm thankful that He knows me well enough to love me through days like today.
