The state of my heart and life is one of being . . .

. . . relentlessly pursued and overtaken by goodness and mercy.

. . . under siege by the love that is stronger than death, a loving-kindness, better than life.

. . . saturated by the presence of the living God.

. . . refreshed, cleansed, and renewed by the Blood of Christ.

. . . buoyed and empowered by the joy of the Lord.

. . . lifted above all my enemies round about.

. . . carried along in the torrent of eternal life welling up in my inmost being.

. . . held in the gleaming gaze and favor of my Father's eyes.

. . . the home and habitation of infinite love.

. . . made strong by the strength of His might.

. . . the target of continuous favor and the unspeakable riches of the inheritance of the saints in light.

. . . in the tender, immediate fellowship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

. . . taught, instructed, and counseled by my Maker.

. . . the glad receiver of the Holy Spirit’s disclosures of Christ’s mind and intentions.

. . . a lover and teller of the Glad Tidings.

. . . trained and disciplined to walk in the Spirit and do the works of Him who calls and sends me.

. . . a unique expression of God’s message of salvation.

. . . a holy one; prized, chosen, and dearly loved.

. . . completely qualified for all that God requires.
