“This morning I got up earlier so I could have an hour to sit down and write my devotion. Amen. Lately, I’ve been working more hours at my job, so I have been busy but as well I know I have to make room for my writing in my schedule.

So as I was walking through my home this morning, going through my routine turning on the lights, getting my coffee ready, and making Benjamin some breakfast I began to think about how each of us has a specific life that God desires for us to live. It is our responsibility to live that life according to His will and His purpose. Amen.

And within that, we are also creating our own space, so to speak. God gives us free will, and it is our space to shape. Amen. We may know what we should do in our lives, but if we choose not to do it, we can create unnecessary mess and hardship. Amen. We can build whatever life we desire if we are willing to put in the work, time, and energy. Amen.

When we stay focused on our goals and remember why we started in the first place, we move forward with purpose. Many people use vision boards to keep their goals in sight knowing what steps to take next to create a beautiful space for themselves and their families. Amen.

I always say that our homes both natural and spiritual are ours to create. Amen. Whatever that looks like for you, if you desire a life of peace, joy, happiness, and quietness, you must work to create that space. You must set boundaries not in a harsh or unkind way, but clearly defining what you will and will not allow in and around your life. Amen.

So yes, we create the space we live in. And I also believe in keeping the small things as the big things. In other words, find joy in the little things waking up in the morning, the breath in your lungs, a cup of coffee, sitting in a safe place, cooking dinner, walking outside, going to work, having a sound mind, family, friends, eyesight, hearing, and laughter. Be thankful, happy, and grateful for it all. Amen.

But one of the most precious things is that you have the ability to create the life and space you want to live in. So take care of yourself. Don’t be pulled into chaos. Don’t give up your convictions for anyone. Instead, nourish and cherish your heart and mind. Protect that space, because it is essential for your healing, completeness, and well-being. Praise the Lord!

For the Lord desires for us to be whole alive and complete in Him. To be firm, yet pliable. Strong, yet gentle. Amen.

So my prayer for all of us is that we create our space well that we do the daily things that help us grow and mature in Christ, and that we choose what leads to wellness in our lives. Not chaos and confusion, but wholeness, peace, and contentment. Amen.

We are spiritual beings, made in the image of Christ. We represent Him. Amen. And believe me, if you are a child of God, others are watching how you live. So I pray that we live well for our Father that we work diligently to create a beautiful life and space for our well-being.

May we be strong and confident, wise and full of understanding, joyful and creative. May we encourage and bless everyone we meet. May our cups be full and overflowing always. Amen.

Let us stay on the path, run our race, and daily take up our cross and follow the Lord in everything. (Proverbs 2:20/2 Timothy 4:7-8/Matthew 16:24-26). So let us walk hand in hand with Him, living by truth not by feelings or emotions. And let us remember that this life is not about us, but about Jesus and His will and His purpose. Praise the Lord.

So let us help ourselves by choosing to live in ways that are pleasing to Him. For when we live to please the audience of One which is Christ Jesus our Lord we are walking in truth and we are living a life well by creating a space that is a beautiful space and most glorious one for our Father to dwell. Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
