Day 16 of Praise


Day 16

Thank You, dear Lord, that I am honored in Your eyes…that even the person who is least in Your Kingdom is greater in your sight than the most prominent and successful person ever born.  How wonderful that You, the high King of heaven, enthroned far above all other powers in heaven and earth, have bestowed on me the royal dignity of being Your child and heir!

I exult in Your marvelous grace—in Your favor and blessings which I do no deserve—for You have raised me up with Christ and seated me with Him in the heavenly realm, far above any conceivable command, authority, power or control. You have given me an exalted status in Your Kingdom—in the one realm where being included and honored has any real significance, any lasting value.

How grateful I am that You have linked me to the greatest possible purposes, the highest of all reasons for living: to know and love You…to show Your love to other people…to glorify You…and to enjoy You now and forever.  What an honor!

Thank You that, in my deepest and truest identity, I am a new person in union with Christ…that I am one of Your spiritual masterpieces, created clean and clear as a flawless jewel…and that You are cutting and polishing me to receive and display more fully the beauty of Your glorious attributes!

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. …  Romans 8:16
