This is the day that I have made.

Today was a very sad day. I traveled to Alabama to celebrate the life of two individuals killed by a reckless driver, under the influence of alcohol. It's so crazy how life can change in such an instant, how quickly someone so dear to us can be stolen from our lives without so much as a second glance or warning of any sort. Life shatters right before our eyes and we don't know how we are ever going to pick up pieces and move on, but God promises us that nothing can ever separate us from his love. He is with the brokenhearted, always. His hand was all around today, it was evident and clear. I just pray for comfort and peace for the family of these two because the days ahead may get harder before they get easier, if you could ever consider days after you lose a love one easy. But God offers us a promise that we will one day see them again, living and walking with him in Heaven.

I am a God who gives and gives and gives. When I died for you on the cross, I held back nothing; I poured out My Life like a drink offering. Because giving is inherent in My nature, I search for people who are able to receive in full measure. To increase your intimacy with Me, the two traits you need the most are receptivity and attentiveness. Receptivity is opening up your innermost being to be filled with My abundant riches. Attentiveness is directing your gaze to Me: searching for Me in all your moments. It is possible to stay your mind on Me, as the prophet Isaiah wrote. Though such attentiveness you receive a glorious gift: My perfect Peace.

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.- Philippians 2:17

"I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."- Mark 10:15

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.- Isaiah 26:3

This is the day that I have made. Rejoice and be glad in it. Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that I am pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since I am the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank Me for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees Me to  work My ways into the situation , so that good emerges from it.
To find joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four hour segments. I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in My Presence today.

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.- Psalm 118:24

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.- Philippians 3:13-14
