Favor!

It's not what you do that will bring you favor.  It's what HE did!


God wants you to face life and expect good to happen to you today because of His grace. He wants you to believe that you no longer get what you deserve based on your actions, merits and self-efforts. Instead, you get what Jesus deserves—abundant favor and blessings—because of the divine exchange that happened at the cross.

Today, Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, completely favored and completely blessed. And according to Ephesians 2, you are seated with Him in heavenly places, and so therefore, you can also receive and walk in this same favor and blessing.

Declare this today: "Because of Jesus' finished work, God gives me what Christ deserves, not what I deserve. I'm expecting good things to happen to me this week because God loves me! He has great plans for me!"

And the way for you to experience God's goodness every day is to stop trying to earn it, and focus on God's love for you—see how His grace has made you righteous and accepted in His eyes to receive His blessings freely.

This is God's heart for you today—to simply believe and fully receive His abundant blessings.

May you know today that you are greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved by our Savior, and experience more and more of His abundant grace!
