This morning, as I completed a day in a devotional about Joseph and the topic was “dream killers”, it brought me to ponder the opposition I’ve received over the years in my own life.

It seems that through my life at many different points, I’ve faced unexplained opposition. Opposition that didn’t make any sense. Opposition that felt like a lack of love and support. I’ve always fought back against it. But I have also allowed it to drive me to a place of feeling unloved. That is, until I began to know and gain understanding of God’s love for me.

So as I sat here contemplating more recent opposition, I believe that God is and has been using that opposition to build a strength in me to boldly go forward in faith and to not be deterred from His purpose in me.

🙏

Dear Father,

Thank you for all that you have done, are doing now, and will do in my life. Thank you for giving me the ability to see you at work and the heart to desire more of your work in me. Please keep leading and directing me. Please forgive me when I get it wrong or I fall from the path. I welcome you and your work into my every day. I wait with excitement for what you hold for me! You have not only been healing my broken heart, but you have been making it new and better. I am continually overwhelmed with the growing sight of your love for me which is greater than any love I have ever known. Your will be done, because it is good and it is perfect. Construct my heart into a heart like yours.

In Jesus name, Amen! 🙏 ♥️

“But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬
