Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Splendor and majesty are words you think of when you see thundering waterfalls; amazed at the power and strength of the river plunging over the rocks. It overwhelms the senses: the sight, the sound, the spray on your face. It’s exhilarating, it’s powerful, it’s fabulous. You stand in awe at this natural wonder. This is just one example of the beauty that I bestow on my beloved. You see, my divine creative touch is in all of nature: the mountains, the forests, the rivers, the oceans, the flowers, the meadows, and all the animals that inhabit them. The heavenly blue sky and starry nights attest to My own splendor and majesty. I, the Lord, am your master and creator. And, you, yes, you, are more precious to me than anything else. Within the beauty of the world is the beauty I created in you. My splendor and majesty are also reflected in you. Take My hand, my child, and look in the mirror of My loving kindness. What you see is a beloved daughter. I have endowed you with gifts to share with others; gifts which will showcase My majesty and splendor, My mercy and justice, My kindness and compassion, My power and strength. Abide in Me as I abide in you. See yourself as I see you. Put on the belt of truth and wear your royal identity as a child of the King.

 Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own . Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. 

 Romans 8:15-17 NLT
