What
are some things that make me happy?
A
friendly daisy in a cute and cheery flower pot.
A
beautiful blue sky studded with puffy white clouds.
Giving
our dog a rub on the head, a scratch on
the side, and a pat on the belly.
These
things make me happy, but how can I choose to delight myself always in
the Lord—even when I cannot feel Him near—when things are not going so well?
For
this, I go to the Lord in prayer—
“Lord,
help me to see the color in the gray—
The
brightness in the dark—
And
the sun through the rain.
Help
me to see these things with eyes of faith.
Eyes
that believe even when they cannot see—
That
believe even when I cannot feel.
A
trust that is born not on what my senses tell me is true—
But
based on what Your Word says is true.
When
I feel alone, Your Word says I am never alone.
When
I feel unworthy and unloved, Your Word says You have loved me with an
everlasting love, and I am God’s own possession.
I
am Yours, and I have been redeemed from the wrath of God and slavery to sin and
death by the precious blood of Jesus.
I
am free.
I
am free to trust.
I
am free to love.
I
am free to obey.
To
truly delight myself in You is to be completely satisfied with You and You
alone.
Lord,
I have so far to go.
But
this day I choose to give up the lies of the enemy fo r the Truth of Your
Word—by Your grace and with the help of Your Holy Spirit within me.
I
choose to Trust You with my life.
I
choose to believe that You are taking every little thing that happens today and
using it for my good—to make me more like Jesus (Romans 8:28-29).
I
love You, Lord.
Thank
You SO MUCH for loving me.
Use
me today to love others.
In
Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
So,
what is my cup of SonShine for today?
To be
wholly satisfied in Jesus and to know in my heart that He is all I need to be
whole, complete, and full of joy every day.
Today,
I will delight myself in my Lord.
That
is my cup of SonShine for today.
