His Essence

Essence-the essence of something or someone is the main ingredient or main characteristic that makes up that thing or person.

With that in mind think on, contemplate, and meditate on your heavenly Father's essence. The Word tells us that God is Love. Therefore, His essence is Love. Without love He would not be who He is. Selah...

Now let your mind wonder about our Lord. He is awesome, all knowing, all powerful, and holy full of perfection and wisdom. He is gracious and understanding; a provider, the healer, merciful, and a conqueror! I am sure you can add to that list. Think about each of His qualities and what that means to you personally.

When we are established in Him we have access to all of His qualities and privileges. We become one with Him. Therefore our essence is Love! In Him we are safe and protected. In Him we are given exactly what we need. We become established-rooted-grounded in the Truth; established in the Love of Christ Jesus.

It is from this place we are able to extend Love and grace to others. From this place we can express ourselves. Gratefulness and forgiveness flows out of our bellies with a pure heart. From this place we are able to forgive others and be grateful for who they are in Christ.

We are all called to share the Gospel, the good news of the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are all called to give an invitation with a Friend that will be there for all who ask forever and ever. It is then we begin to expand and grow in Him. Expand ourselves! Character change will happen because of Holy Spirit dwelling within us! It is impossible to keep the secret to ourselves. Jesus lives and he lived and died for all to attain abundant life in Him forever!

Know this my friends. When you are weak He is strong. When you are weary He lifts you up. When you are unsure He brings confidence. This day I pray all is made complete in Him for you and me, too. Blessings, dianne
