GOD'S PROMISE OVER YOU

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. "Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip. Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the Lord. All Kedar's flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you; they will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple. (Isaiah 60:1-7 NIV) Read this passage again more slowly and look at what is promised to the people of God. These we're not perfect people but people who had messed up and even failed in what God wanted them to do. God loved them anyway and God was relentless in bringing the blessing their way. He wanted them to have it more than they even wanted it themselves. The blessing is available to you today - if you would even open up your heart just a little. God wants to pour upon you and your family untold blessings from on high. He wants you to know that you are SO loved today and that you are so special to Him - even if you've failed and messed. You are His beloved son and daughter!
