Day 5-Holy Lovers



As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” NKJV
 
So I said to the Lord God,
“You are my Maker, my Mediator, and my Master.
Any good thing you find in me has come from you.”
And he said to me, “My holy lovers are wonderful,
my majestic ones, my glorious ones,
fulfilling all my desires.”  TPT

When you accepted Jesus, you became an excellent one who God delights in.  You are created to fulfill all His desires.  Can you wrap your head around that?  By becoming His holy lover, you are giving Him great pleasure, and a way for Him to fulfill His desires.
 
But what does it mean to be a holy lover?
To be a holy lover is to choose to be one.  It takes a commitment of time and energy to become intimate with God.
To be a holy lover is to walk with the Lord every minute of every day.  Everything you do will draw you closer to him or put up stumbling blocks to that intimate relationship. 

 To be a holy lover is to celebrate the gift that God gave to us; Jesus.  It is only because of Jesus's sacrifice that we can be a  lover of God.

 

To be a holy lover is to be in awe that He chose you as his lover.  As you understand this, you live each moment of the day filled with gratitude by the way you have been so richly blessed.

 

To be a holy lover is to desire His presence, not for all He does for us, but just because you love him. and desire to spend time with Him.

 

To be a holy lover is to want what He wants.  It is a journey of discovering who He is and what makes Him happy, then adjusting your life accordingly.

You may not see yourself that way, but God already sees you as His holy lover.  You are wonderful, majestic, glorious, and excellent in His eyes!   You, just as you are right this moment, fulfill His desires.  You don't have to change a thing about yourself to be His holy lover. You will discover that just being in His presence and loving him will take care of any changes that need to be made.

Take 3 x 3 - Practice becoming a holy lover. Take 3 minutes this morning, this afternoon, and again this evening to love on Jesus. Whisper your words of love to the Lord.

Day 1-His Perfect Plan

Image
You have a part in God's perfect plan.  He has chosen you to be adopted as his delightful child through your union with Jesus.  His plan is your deliverance and salvation, to lavish you with His love and grace.  The blood of Jesus paid the penalty for your sin and resulted in your forgiveness and complete pardon.  With this grace and love, He gives you wisdom and practical insight into His will and purpose for your life.  By accepting this grace and love, you bring him great pleasure. Without you, our family would be incomplete and God's pleasure not full.  So I want to thank you for accepting Jesus and His plan.  I add my voice to Paul's as we pray for you.   I don't stop thanking God for you—every time I pray, I think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank, I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear so that you can see exactly what it

Day 3-Decorated with Salvation

Image
The word for delight used here is the Hebrew word rō·w·ṣeh which means to be pleased with; specifically, to satisfy a debt -- (be) accept(-able), accomplish, set affection, approve, consent with, delight (self), enjoy, (be, have a) favor(-able), like, observe, pardon, (be, have, take) please(-ure), reconcile self When you accepted Jesus, you went from just being plain folk to one who delighted God so much that he decorates you with salvation garland!  When I picture that in my mind, I see the garland like the leis they put around your neck in Hawaii. That garland is made from flowers, but your salvation garland is made from everything Jesus made available for you at the cross.  Its flowers are righteousness, wisdom, love, joy, peace, healing, prosperity, and every favor and earthly blessing.  I see God laughing as He puts one lei garland around your neck after another until you are covered in His delight.  All I can see is blessing after blessing that has been placed on you, so
