Blessed Be His Name

Worship Me in the beauty of holiness. All true beauty reflects some of who I am. I am working My ways in you: the divine Artist creating loveliness within your being. My main work is to clear out debris and clutter, making room for My Spirit to take full possession. Collaborate with Me in this effort by being willing to let go of anything I choose to take away. I know what you need, and I have promised to provide all of that—abundantly!

Your sense of security must not rest in your possessions or in things going your way. I am training you to depend on Me alone, finding fulfillment in My Presence. This entails being satisfied with much or with little, accepting either as My will for the moment. Instead of grasping and controlling, you are learning to release and receive. Cultivate this receptive stance by trusting Me in every situation.
Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.- PSALM 29:2
One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.- PSALM 27:4

Why must give up all of our things? Do you feel like you are constantly getting something, but then having it ripped from under you? Why do our loved ones have to die, why do we have to lose our jobs and why do we struggle with money?

God wants us to learn about giving and taking away of our possessions. These things are not our own. God has blessed our lives with them and they are His. We have no right to complain when we know He is in control. We shall let His will be done and trust His purpose for doing so.

It is so hard to give what we have to God, especially when we work so hard for it. But think about it, we would not be where we are at today if it wasn't for God blessing our lives at some point. We owe what we have to Him. He died on the cross for our sins so that we may go to heave and live with Him forever.  Losing our job, struggling with money and suffering from a loss are blessings and teachings in disguise. He knows what His plans are. Blessed Be His Name!
