May your cup run over with joy that you have relationships
with people who care about you, who pray for you and who
look forward to seeing you.
Ps.23:5 …my cup runneth over.

Almost every single believer in the Lord Jesus Christ would deny that they have “stopped short of the glory of God” simply because they have made a decision for Christ. The premiere scripture used in the Romans Road format for witnessing to unbelievers is Rom.3:23—for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. That plan is to show unbelievers proof from the Bible that they are sinners and need to repent and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. While the fact of “stopping short” is true for unbelievers, it is also true for many who count themselves as believers. The word “sinned” and the words “come short” each effect the other, i.e., are causational upon each other (as may be seen in the next couple of excerpts in the definition of “miss the mark”). It is entirely possible for not only unbelievers to “stop short” of the glory of God but believers as well.

Your Home #10 — May your home be the storehouse that bountiful good things are distributed from. May love, joy, peace, compassion, food, money and facilitation be gathered into your home and distributed to those who need them to be whole and advance in life.
“Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,”(1Tim.6:18, NKJV)
It is possible for an individual to fulfill God’s plan for his/her life (2Tim.4:7). There are some very basic factors 
about our makeup, and the makeup of others around us, that we can come to understand that will be of great value in continuing upon the path to that goal. Learning what that makeup looks like, accepting it and releasing ourselves to express it freely and fully, while recognizing and relating to others who have a different makeup, is key to success. When we begin to take notice of how God has “wired” us (or, simply, how God has made us) we can stay quite close to the trajectory our Lord has for His expression in our life’s walk. Then, not only are we more efficiently and obviously bringing glory to God but we are more fulfilled and satisfied and at peace in our lives.

God has a plan and a path for each of us to walk out during the course of our life (Jer.29:11). Our Lord has put within each of us a 
personality, gifting and abilities that He has designed to use uniquely to His glory. They are expressive aspects of His image (Gen.1:26) and must, therefore, become very significant considerations in our growth and maturity development. Each of us are “wired” differently from the other (though from time to time we will come across others wired similarly to us). The “way we are wired” (personality, gifting, abilities) is the way He means for us to function effectively in that plan (Ps.139:13-18). It is possible for each of us to become disillusioned, discouraged or disappointed and stop short of walking that course in the manner He has “wired” us. It is possible for each of us to stop short of fulfilling that goal but we don’t have to… not at any point (Lam.3:23; Matt.24:13; 28:20; Jn.14:17; 2Tim.4:7).

As the people of God assemble today may people
be saved, healed and delivered by the saving power
of Jesus Christ and His shed blood at Calvary.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it
is the power of God to salvation for everyone who
believes…” (Rom.1:16a, NKJV)
May the Lord cause individuals, companies and
entities to work in cooperation with His purposes for you.
“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate
instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you
really are, and your place in God’s family.” (Matt.5:9, Msg)
In Absalom, the people got the appearance and looks that fit their agenda but they didn’t get the character in the man. He was able to present a fine appearance and a desirable program but there was no character behind the appearance. Absalom got the results of a self-promoter and Israel got the privilege of dealing with the fallout. Maybe if we give ourselves to time and process and track records, we will have less fallout to deal with.
“And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;” (1Thess.5:12, KJV)
“Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; THANK GOD no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.” (1Thess.5:16-18, Msg)
The one who knows Jehovah God knows that, in spite of what circumstances or people have done, God Almighty still has a purpose of His own in that person’s life. This Great God is too wise to act irrationally and too compassionate to be cruel. We are in Christ Jesus and giving thanks from that position from which nothing nor anyone can remove us.
“I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.” (Rom.8:38-39, Msg)

“…Thanksgiving is our dialect.” (Eph.5:4b, Msg)
The second thing Satan said to Jesus was, “Since you are God’s Son, jump.” That meant, prove your Father values You and values the purpose in You. However, God had publicly affirmed Jesus when He said, “This is My beloved Son in whom I’m well pleased.” So, Satan couldn’t make Jesus test His own affirmation and worth because Satan couldn’t make Him doubt it. Many people grow up never being affirmed. No authority figure or nurturer or friend ever takes the time to declare their worth and affirm them. That is sad, but it does not have to be terminal. If you haven’t had the affirmation needed to have a solid sense of self-worth, you can still decide to be a victim of that and never get where you were born to go, or you can overcome it.
