This is the day that the Lord has made, and I will…

Walk in it as a child of God, forever forgiven, forever loved.

Never again doubt His love for me. When the storms of life come near, I will hold on to His love, His grace, and His power. And I will find that they are all…sufficient.

Come boldly to His throne. I will step into the prayer room, confident of His willingness to hear my prayers, to answer my prayers, and to give me what I need, when I need it.

Resist temptation. It’s coming, and when it does I will cling to the Rock of my Salvation. Holding tight to Him, He will see me through any trick the devil throws at me.
And when I do fall, and I will, He will pick me up, dust me off, and set my feet back on the path that He has chosen for me.

Trust in His Word. I will understand, to the very core of my soul, that what lies within are precious promises that I can count on, lean on, trust in, and turn to.

Tell others of His love. Tell…and show. For this is how they will know that I am His, by the love I show to them. A love that after all, was shown to me first.

Know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. That He is indeed in control, and has a plan for me. A plan not to harm me, but to heal me. Not for evil, but for good. Not for defeat, but for victory.

Accept the finished work that was accomplished at Calvary. For it was there that my Savior took upon Himself all of my sins, and made atonement for me. So that I may…

Accept the free gift, once and for all, of Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
Eternally forgiven, eternally secure.

So on this day…it starts…


And oh yes, I also need to go on a diet!

Such a beautiful testimony to our Lord and Savior, filling my soul with thoughts of His love and sacrifice for all mankind. The last sentence, however, as humorous as it may be to some, seemed to mock what was so beautifully written before. (Only one person's opinion...and I'm not a Judge..smile) Well written!

This was soothing and made my spirit dance. Even the last line...which made me smile. Good job! Kate~

beautifully told. I really enjoyed it. I kind of agree that you should've left out the last line, although it did make me smile. :)

This would make a wonderful morning meditation. I'd leave off the last line, because the mood is so different from the rest of the piece, which is very lovely.
