As I write 
this tonight, I am laying on my beautiful bed. Next to me is my empty Chai latte mug, my Bible and my current devotional – Daily Steps for God Chicks. As I look around me, as I recall the things in my house, I’m reminded that life is good. My life is full.
Because of Who my God is, I lack for nothing.
Because I am a daughter of the King of kings, nothing is missing from my table.
My table is set before, prepared since the beginning of time. I simply need to reach out and lay hold, gratefully, of the things that my Heavenly Father has so generously provided.
These things, as I continue to look around and reflect, are incomparable really to the one item that takes pride of place in my life. My Bible.
My Bible, as read and ragged as the edges and pages are, is my greatest possession. It is the greatest item that I have, next to salvation.
My Ted, my loving husband, is my most cherished gift from God. But, even he, in his handsomeness and loveliness, does not compare to the God who loves me and is given to me in the pages of my Bible.
My Bible gives me the ability to know His incomparably great riches and His unending mercy, love and grace that abounds to me, around me and for me.
My God, because of my relationship with the Father, whispers to me each moment of the day as I breathe that I am loved. My God breathes life into me and as a result, I feel myself breathing in Him.
I feel the cares of the world and the desires of and for the future float away as I meditate on the simple yet almost incomprehensible truth that I am loved and that I have always been loved with a love that has never been and will never be tarnished.
I revel in that knowledge. As I close my eyes and breathe deeply, it gives me confidence that the hurts of the past, that both Ted and I have endured from others, are covered in God’s love, for His love covers a multitude of sins – those committed by others as well as ourselves.
What a wonderful thought to end a fabulous day on – I am loved.
I am held secure in God’s hands.
I am covered and abundantly filled with God’s forgiveness, His grace, God’s mercy and His love. Most of all, His love.
I pray that you, too, would know and experience His great and powerful love.
Love. Selah.
