Read I treasure life’s little moments

Every day, I wake up and remind myself that this is the day that the Lord has made, so I will rejoice and be glad in it. It’s a reminder that every day is a gift, a new opportunity to experience life’s little moments that make it all worthwhile.

In the hustle and bustle of life, I often find myself caught up in the whirlwind, forgetting to appreciate these brief moments so full of meaning. But then I remember that for everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. All things, big and small, are part of God’s grand design. He empowers me to accomplish every good work prompted by faith. He has given me everything I need for life and godliness.

One of my favourite moments is the quiet solitude of early morning, just as the world is beginning to stir. It’s during these moments that I am still and know that He is God. It’s in these peaceful moments that I feel closest to Him.

I also treasure those moments spent with loved ones. Whether we’re sharing a meal, laughing together, or simply sitting in silence, these moments remind me that where two or three are gathered in His name, He is here. In these moments, I feel His presence strongly.

And then there are those moments of personal struggle. During these times, it’s hard to see the silver lining. But I remember that for those who love God, all things work together for the good and He will make me more and more like Jesus through this. Even in the darkest of times, He is with me. I choose to trust Him and cast my cares upon Him because He cares for me.

Sometimes, it’s easy to lose sight of the beauty in life’s little moments, especially when we face challenges. But I remember to trust in the Lord with all my heart and I’ve learned to lean not on my own understanding. In all my ways, I acknowledge Him, and He makes my paths straight.

Today, I choose to give thanks in all circumstances, knowing this is God’s will for me in Christ Jesus. Each day is filled with countless little moments to be grateful for. And for each of these moments, I give thanks.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

How can I better incorporate praise and worship into my daily routine to remind myself that each day is a gift to be treasured?
When faced with struggles, how can remember that all things work together for good for those who love God?
In what ways can I cultivate gratitude in all circumstances in my life?

Read I take time to reflect on my blessings

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. It’s too easy to forget all the benefits and blessings I’ve received from God, but today I choose to remember and give thanks.

God has blessed me in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights who does not change with shifting shadows. Everything God created is good and nothing should be rejected when it’s received with thanksgiving.

The Lord blesses me and keeps me; He makes His face to shine upon me and is gracious to me; the Lord lifts His countenance upon me and gives me peace. He grants me my heart’s desire and fulfills all my plans. He empowers me to accomplish every good work prompted by faith. God blesses me to be a blessing.

The Lord keeps me in good health, even as it goes well with my soul. He gives me favour with doctors and opens doors no one can close and closes doors no one can open. He is for me and not against me and since God is for me, who can be against me? Even in my weakest moments, I am incredibly blessed. God promises His kingdom to those who are lowly and humble in spirit. I trust my God will supply every need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.

I know, as I trust I will like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.

Today, I am overwhelmed by how abundantly God has blessed me. My heart fills with gratitude for all He has done and continues to do in my life. God’s blessings are truly immeasurable, and I am grateful for each one of them.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

How can I better recognize and appreciate the daily blessings You bestow upon me
How can I use my blessings to be a blessing to others?
In what ways can I deepen my trust in You?

Read I take small steps in life and appreciate the time I have

The Bible provides me with a sense of guidance and calmness that I can’t find elsewhere. I know in their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. While I may plan my path in life, it is ultimately God who guides my steps. I am learning to trust in His wisdom and appreciate the small steps I take on this journey of life. Each step I take, no matter how small, is an integral part of my life’s tapestry woven together by the divine hand. As I put one foot in front of the other, I move to the rhythms of His rest.

I realize that there is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven. He has taught me to appreciate every moment of my life, for each second is precious and unique. Whether it’s a time of joy or sorrow, growth or stagnation, each phase of life holds its value and importance. I have learned that it’s not about rushing through life to reach the end goal, but about savouring each moment and appreciating what it brings. I am reminded that life is not a race to be won, but a journey to be experienced.

I do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is my life? I know I am a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. I have a sense of urgency to appreciate the time I have. Life is transient, and I cherish every moment given to me. I can never underestimate the hole my absence will leave for those I love. So I make sure to know they are appreciated today.

Today, I appreciate the time I have and take small steps. They remind me of the invaluable gift of life and the beauty of living in the present moment. Every second matters, every step counts, and each moment is a blessing from above. As I journey through life, I will continue to appreciate the small steps and cherish every moment God has granted me.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

In what ways am I actively trusting in God’s wisdom to guide my steps, and how can I improve in this area?
How am I appreciating and cherishing each moment in my life, even those that may seem mundane or challenging?
What changes can I make in my daily life to better embrace the transient nature of life and truly value the time I have?

Read Gratitude is a sacred practice

Every morning, as the sun dances its way into the sky, I awaken with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Gratitude for the gift of life, for the blessings that have been bestowed upon me, and for the love that envelopes me.

I decide to not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, I present my requests to God. Casting any cares that have followed me from the night on Him, because He cares for me. I start my day with gratitude, and lay my worries at His feet, and to trust He is working all things together for the good.

This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it. Every day is a unique gift from God, one that should be filled with joy and gratitude. Even in the midst of trials and tribulations, there is always a reason to give thanks. As I go about my day, I find myself rejoicing always, and praying continually, giving thanks in all circumstances; for I know this is God’s will for me in Christ Jesus. I don’t let gratitude to be confined to the morning hours. Instead, it permeates every moment of my life. I am constantly in conversation with God, expressing my thanks for His many blessings.

Gratitude is more than just an emotion or a state of mind. It is a way of life. I choose to see the good in each day, to appreciate the beauty in each moment, and to celebrate the love in each interaction. It is choosing to trust in God’s plan that is good and that He is working all things together for the good. I find peace in His presence. I find peace when I trust Him enough to always be in His presence.

As I lay down to rest each evening, my heart brimming with gratitude for another blessed day, I give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever. I celebrate my daily journey with gratitude. It serves as a poignant reminder of God’s unwavering love and faithfulness.

Gratitude is more than just a habit or a routine. It is a spiritual discipline, a sacred practice that draws me closer to God and allows me to experience His love in profound and meaningful ways. As I cultivate a heart of gratitude, I open myself up to the abundance of God’s grace and the beauty of His creation.

Today, as I start the day, I do so with gratitude—gratitude for the love of God, for the gift of life, and for the countless blessings that come my way. For it is through this gratitude that I truly come alive and experience the fullness of God’s love. Gratitude is a sacred practice.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

How can my outlook on life and my relationship with God be affected by starting each day with gratitude?
Can I identify specific moments or situations where I found joy and gratitude, even during trials?
How can I incorporate gratitude into every aspect of my life, beyond just the morning hours?

Read I see the best in others and appreciate them for it

I do my best to see the best in others and appreciate them for it. We are all created in the image of God, and therefore, each person has their own unique gifts and abilities, value and worth. By looking beyond surface appearances and seeking the good in others, I foster a spirit of love, encouragement, and unity.

In my interactions with others, I aim to honour all people and build them up. I do my best, as long as it depends on me, to be at peace with everyone. When I’m confronted with hostility, in that moment, I ask Holy Spirit to show me the “gold” He sees in that person. I want to see what God loves about them. What has been violated in them to assume the worst in me? When I affirm in them the good things God impresses to me about them, the atmosphere of the moment shifts. His kingdom comes and His will is done.

I understand the importance of encouraging one another and supporting each other in our journeys. It is not only about focusing on our own interests, but also genuinely caring for the well-being and interests of others.

Having a humble mindset helps me to count others as more significant than myself. This means recognizing and valuing the strengths and contributions of others without comparing or competing with them. It is about fostering unity, sympathy, and brotherly love.

Today, Jesus’ commandment to love one another serves as my guiding principle. By following His example of choosing selfless love, I can truly see the best in others and appreciate them for who they are.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

How can I cultivate a genuine spirit of appreciation for the strengths and qualities of others?
In what ways can I actively encourage and build up others, both in my words and actions?
Am I truly seeking to understand and value the interests and well-being of others, or am I primarily focused on my own needs and desires?
