The Freedom You Need- Dr. James A. Lee

Free - Sunday

Free

I AM FREE TO SPREAD MY WINGS AND SOAR.

As I glimpse a bird flying in the sky above, I consider what its day might be like. It is free to soar without limitation, to fly wherever it chooses.

In many ways, I am like that bird. I, too, am free to spread my wings and soar beyond seeming limitations. I feel free and light as I consider how I might give wings to my dreams. Perhaps it is time to begin a new chapter in my life, set a new course. I am not restricted by circumstance, for I see beyond to new possibilities.

Blessed with the gift of imagination, I envision my life made new. I release old ways of thinking and being and take my next step with faith and excitement. I am free to create the life I desire—free as a bird!

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.—2 Corinthians 3:17

Creativity

WITH GOD, I CO-CREATE A WORLD OF LOVE AND ABUNDANCE.

Creative energy is an integral part of me. Because I am made in the image and likeness of God, I am a unique expression of creative energy. I have within me all I need to be creative.

I color the canvas of my life with my thoughts and words. I create a life vibrant with love as I give praise and thanks. I paint from the infinite palette of God as I tap into divine inspiration. Whether I make a loaf of bread or a work of art, it is my unique creation.

Whatever my gifts, I am an outlet for God’s divine ideas to flow into the world. Through the smallest act of kindness or the grandest gift, I contribute to a world of divine love and abundance.

For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.—Ephesians 2:10

“

One day long ago, I started receiving Daily Word for no apparent reason. I was in much need of it. I found this out when I started to read it. I thought, What a really nice gift this would be. So I started giving Daily Word as gifts to my parents and three daughters. I wanted to leave a legacy that would speak volumes to the ones I love so deeply ... Continue reading

The Great I Am Dr. James A. Lee

I Am - 

I Am

I AM FILLED WITH THE LIFE, LIGHT AND LOVE OF GOD.

Today I ask myself, Who am I? I may answer: spouse, parent, child, friend, co-worker or sibling. I may describe my height, hair color or physical attributes. All of these descriptions indicate who I am on the outside, but who am I at the core? Who am I in the truth of my being?

I am a child of God, a spiritual being filled with divine light and love.

I am one with Spirit, and therefore, I “can do all things.”

I am strong and secure, for I am guided by the all-knowing presence of God.

I am vibrant and healthy, for I am infused with God’s healing energy of life.

I am a unique and valuable part of this world. I am a beloved child of God.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”—Matthew 16:15

Read: Colossians 3:1-12 

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. —Colossians 3:2 

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 22-24 

The Masters Tournament is one of the most prestigious in professional golf. In 2009, Kenny Perry placed second after leading during the final round. Writing in The New York Times, Bill Pennington described Perry as “disappointed but not despondent” after the loss. “I’ll look back on it occasionally and wonder what I might have done differently, but I won’t dwell on it,” Perry said. “If this is the worst thing that happens in my life, I’ve got it pretty good. I won’t let it dog me. There are so many other things in life that matter more . . . . I’ll go home tonight with my family and we’ll have fun.”

The ability to look beyond our disappointments is essential for followers of Christ. Our focus determines how we face the victories and defeats in life. “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth” (Col. 3:1-2). This way of thinking looks to Christ, rather than our achievements, for significance and validation. We seek Him, not success.

When we strive for excellence and give our best effort, losing hurts, but it doesn’t have to harm us. The key is where we set our minds and hearts.

Lord, thank You that You are the one who measures
how we’ve done in life and determines
whether we’ve been successful. Help us to keep that
focus even in disappointments.

When Christ is the center of your focus, everything else comes into proper perspective.

Confidence - Dr. James A. Lee

Confidence - 

Confidence

THE SPIRIT OF GOD WITHIN GUIDES ME ON THE PATH OF GOOD.

Sometimes I know what I need to do, but I hesitate to take action. Perhaps fear or concern is draining my confidence. Today I decide to move beyond any fear and stepboldly forward.

The spirit of God is with and within me. It is the source of my strength, creativity and courage. I open my heart to divine wisdom and trust in the guidance I receive. Then I let go and allow Spirit to guide my way forward.

Acting with confidence and faith opens the door to greater good in my life. I no longer hide behind fear; I have courage and faith to experience all that life has to offer. I am divinely supported and feel Spirit’s presence urging me on.

With Spirit-led momentum, I step confidently forward to accept my good.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.—2 Corinthians 5:7
