My friend and I have this thing where we call each other and share “favor moments”—ways that God showed up in little and big ways that day. It’s a way we celebrate being His daughters, of noticing His loving involvement in our lives, and chasing down every blessing He gives. It may be finding something we thought was lost forever, or a close parking spot at the store, or a kind word from someone right when we needed it. The “favor moments” are endless and diverse, no two the same.
He shows His love in a million unique ways every day.
Don’t let shame keep you locked inside, because as His daughter, you have the humility and freedom to open wide your hands to receive every good thing from your loving Father above. Don’t let the weight of the world suppress you from holding the rich weight of His glory. Don’t see the world through the lens of evil reigning, but for the glorious creation it is…filled with colors and textures and tastes and smells.
God doesn’t want you to just survive this world, but to thrive…to see it all through His eyes of delight and love.
Find the abundance in the ordinary, but more than that— expect it. Expect God to show up. You have been given every spiritual blessing in Him, and you are not left behind. You are the girl His heart is chasing after. Even in the trenches, you can dig to find the gold.
Receive the blessing. Be the blessing.
Have the vision to be God’s blessing—His favor—to others around you. May you have the response of Mary, the mother of Yeshua whenever God shows up. May you praise and pray and respond with Scripture overflowing from your heart. May you store every moment in your soul, never letting the pain and pressure and heartache of this world snuff out the joy of God’s delight in you.
Trail every good thing back to the heart of God.
