Today's Devotion- Thankfulness

I am thankful for what God has given me in the last six months. How he had change me from within, even when there were storms that I had to face in my own life and having to lean on GOD for my strength and for giving me a future, a life...This passover is my first year at my recovery. I celebrate life to the fullest since I have been given a second chance. God had remove people from my life and at that stage of my life I wasn't able to understand it all, but now I do. Because He had showed me how to love myself first when others couldn't. To be happy & content with who I am. To realize that it depends on me to get better to persevere and to live out my dreams that God had placed inside my heart. I started to declare on my own life, prophesying and believing that God has a purpose for me. A plan for my life not to hurt me or to let me down, but to raise me up from the depths of the pain & suffering.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Jeremiah 33:6 "'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.

Our everyday life is a challenge, a pursuit to get to the next level of your spirituality, of the dimensions we travel as we go deeper within ourselves and in finding our highest self. The true me came to the light, from the surface of the place I have hid who I was because of fear of being vulnerable to the world I am living in. I am still striving to find myself and with each storm, test and obstacle life had put on my path, I came to see who I am as a person, friend and a lover. Who I am as a daughter, a cousin, friend even sister. I declare goodness over my relationship, my finance and my home and my family. Finding love after all this time and being loved back. My whole life I was trying to fit in, but all along it took just to look up to the sky hearing God's voice saying you are loved, needed, and above all you are special to so many, but most importantly that I came to be secure within my own soul, and heart and knowing I can Trust God to always show me the right path and never to give up on myself and those I love. God is my first love and having Him being the center of my universe I know I can't go wrong in life.
