A heavenly perspective lifts and encourages.

Today when you are tempted to let yourself feel down, look up.

Today when you get dressed, put on a garment of praise. Pick one item of clothing that is joyful.

When fear comes, remember the promise God gives us: Do not fear for I am with you.

Do you feel like the underdog? Like the odds are stacked against you? Remember, God loves the underdog.

God’s strength is with you. Solid. Firm. Unyielding. He is your strength.

Be still today. Receive like a tree. God’s love and care is always with you.

As you begin the battles of your day, receive God’s blessing: May the Lord bless you and keep you.

What brings you shame? Tell it to God. God wants you to forgive yourself and let it go.

Give your loved ones to God, release them to His care.

Think of God’s love. His love is like the sun, rising up every morning bringing warmth and light. Nothing can stop it.

With each heart shape you see, imagine God sending you a Valentine. Be aware of His love today. He is saying over and over, “I love you.”

Think of all the kinds of dogs. What was God thinking as He made them? Maybe how much He loves us.
