Focus on Jesus
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
Today, decide to heal a memory. Reflect on a time when you felt rejected. Take a deep breath and know that God loves you completely and accepts you just as you are right now. Feel the pain dissipate and thank Him for helping you move forward on a positive path for your life.
Lord, You heal the dark places of my past and lead me into Your wonderful light.
