A Message of Inspiration From the Author of Living Loved, October 5, 2025
Hey friends, so one day I was talking to a friend about being brave and how I just couldn’t be brave in certain situations, or I “feel” like I cannot. I said that I had overcome much of my fear but there were still just certain things I hadn’t overcome it yet. Well my friend prayed for me to be brave and strong where I needed to be. I sat with the Father today and asked him why I was still afraid in certain areas when I knew He had not given me a spirit of fear and I knew that I could do all things through Him who gives me strength. And He, ever so gently, reminded me that He has already given me what I need to live this life, I must choose to walk in it; to activate it, to believe in Him in that moment. See I was making what I was afraid of out to be stronger than the Father. Like He couldn’t possibly help me through those moments. (Yeah I know how silly that sounds!) I was CHOOSING the fear OVER CHOOSING the STRENGTH AND THE COURAGE That the Father has already freely given me!! Today friends, I implore you to choose godliness. Choose hope. Choose faith. Choose courage. Choose life more abundantly. Choose joy. CHOOSE HIS PROMISES!! We are so loved by a Mighty God who died to to save us!! Live LOVED today friends!! LIFE IN THE DIVINE NATURE OF CHRIST IN YOU!!
Pray with me!
Father thank you for this day that you did not promise us. Father thank you for the divine nature that you have given me through your precious promises. Help me to choose you, choose your power working through me instead of choosing my weakness. Help me to see myself in your strength and power rather than my flesh. Father forgive me where I have chosen to do things in my own strength and not relied upon you. Father help me to be all that you have called me to be. Help me settle my heart upon you, the author of my faith and to rest in knowing that I am enough because you are enough! Thank you for loving me enough to tell me when I’ve stepped outside what you have given me. I thank you that you make me brave. I praise you Father, I give you glory!! In Jesus name, amen!!
“For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [of inexpressible value], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature.”
2 PETER 1:3-4 AMP
