Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

You can be sure of God's love. It never fails. It never ends. It is unconditional. He loved you before you ever loved Him. You can do nothing that will cause Him to love You more; nothing you do can make Him love you less.

Are you ready to take another step? It may be a small, baby step; it may be a great, life-changing step. The distance covered doesn't matter, only the direction it takes you. Each day brings the opportunity to take another step in one direction or another.

We are all interested in rewards. All ages, all cultures, all times, everyone is motivated by rewards, and the flip-side, by punishment. Infants and toddlers are quietened by rewards, and preschoolers may be made to behave by punishments. School-age children are kept in line, first by rewards offered, and if needed, by punishments threatened.

Psalm 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High.

If you have breath, give Him praise. There is no one more worthy to receive it. He has rescued us from death, given us life, and treasured us for who and what we are. He accepts us in our individuality because that is how He made us. We are not forced into cookie cutter molds by God's Spirit. He is big enough and loving enough to work with us each in our own unique needs and ways, for He has unique tasks for each of us, that only we can do. And part of that is to give Him praise in our own individual style.
