In his book, “The Message that Works,” Dr. TL Osborn includes a chapter about Friendship With God, in which he states that God declares, “You can trust Me, I will trust you!”

Have you ever considered that God trusts you? And therefore you can trust yourself? I believe this is the essence of God’s heart toward you today.

You and I were created for fellowship with God, for friendship with God. Our rightful place is at His side—not under His feet or under His thumb. He doesn’t carry a hammer or a whip, commanding obedience…no, our rightful place is standing arm-in-arm with the living, loving God.

There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. What does a true friend offer? Unconditional Acceptance, Unwavering Commitment, Unswerving Loyalty.  And today, what does Jesus offer YOU? Uncompromising, unwavering support when you don’t know where to turn.

Miracles have the amazing ability to silence the voice of those who do not believe, for there is no greater evidence of the effect of God’s love and forgiveness upon a soul than an undeniable miracle!

According to Colossians 1:27, when you are born again Christ now lives in you. So, where is the presence of God? I’m not looking forward over here, or looking backward over there, or begging for it up there. I am relishing the abundance and living in the glory of His love and His life and His Spirit in me right now. I come boldly to His throne of grace and receive what I have need of from Him. I recognize that He lives in me, I live in Him, and His presence surrounds me.

I am a miracle and I belong to a miracle. Jesus, born of a virgin; Jesus, who walked a sinless life; Jesus, who went to the cross and paid a price I could not pay; Jesus, who was raised from the dead on the third day.

I belong to a miracle because He calls me by His name. He calls me His child! I belong to a miracle and the miracle has made me, the miracle lives in me, and the miracle and I are one. We are one in Christ Jesus!

Someone today is wondering if God loves them. I want you to know that today is your day of salvation. Now is the moment of your deliverance.

When a person recognizes how much God loves them and they call on the name of Jesus, He enters into their heart and brings peace with Him. At the moment that peace enters in, sickness and disease flee. The person may not even know when they were healed; they just know that something has happened in them.

The name of Jesus has been whispered throughout the generations, and it is an echo of God’s love from the foundation of the world until now, and throughout all eternity!

God created us in His image with dignity and purpose. He created us to experience His love. He entrusted us with His authority and only required one thing from us: that we in turn would trust and believe His words to us.

The Bible tells us the very hairs on our head are numbered (Luke 12:7). Why? Because every detail of your life matters to God. He reveals Himself to you personally and intimately because He loves you and died just for you!

Jehovah Shalom means “the Lord is our peace.” This word shalom literally has the essence of nothing broken, everything fixed, everything being repaired. Shalom is total restoration and total peace for all that we need. This is God extending Himself to humanity saying “I love you”!
