When you see a drama presented on a stage, you see the actors who have spent hours memorizing their lines. You see actors who have practiced and practiced for the final production.
Yet, you know that those on the stage are just acting. They are not the real characters in life that they are portraying.
I have chosen you to be in a drama. However, you are not pretending to be someone you are not. You are not saying lines that you have memorized. The drama of life for every believer is a life that is surrendered totally to Me. I am your life. You have life because of Me. By Me, for Me and through Me were all things created that are created. You are My chosen creation who will display My glory to others. Like it or not, you are always on stage. Others watch you and they sometimes do not understand your faith. However, as you remain in My Word, My words will flow through you. You are not an actor. I am the One Who takes action through you to reach a dying world.
The curtain has already gone up. People are watching what you do and what you say. Your life can reflect My love or it can reflect your own flesh. I have called you to respond to others in love always. It is only when you react to others with your own fleshly words and deeds that I am not glorified in you. Ask Me today to speak through you the words I want you to speak. Ask Me today to do through you what I desire to do. This is how I lived out the drama of My life on Earth. I only did what I saw My Father do and I only said what I heard My Father say. I have chosen you to do the same.

GENEROSITY
When you live in the anointing of My grace, you will be gracious and you will be a giver. You will be a cheerful giver. When my feet were anointed with that costly perfume by a woman, those gathered in that house were shocked. One upbraided Me for allowing her to use that costly perfume when it could have been sold and given to the poor.
This woman generously gave to Me something very costly. I gave My grace generously to you. I have forgiven you of all of your sins. I love you just as much as My Father loves Me. You are much loved. You can demonstrate your thanksgiving to Me by giving to Me something that is very precious to Me. As you worship and praise Me and pray, your prayers are a sweet fragrance to Me.
This morning take time to generously bless Me with your prayers, worship, and praise. This is how you can return to Me the love I have generously given to you. I love to hear your voice.
MATTHEW 26:7-13

LONGSUFFERING
When you know and really understand that a great part of My character is longsuffering, you will never give up praying for those you know who need to come into My kingdom and also for those who have temporarily turned away from walking in My Spirit.
Keep praying, keep pursuing My Word, keep praising Me for hearing and answering your prayers. I did not give up on My servant Paul even when He continued to persecute Me. It was the prayer of Stephen and the rest of My friends who continually blessed their enemies that opened the door in the spirit realm for Me to bless Paul.
Your prayers are effectual. Ask My Holy Spirit to pray through you the prayers that need to be prayed and then begin to praise Me for hearing and answering your petitions. The phrase, "Give up," comes from the enemy, not Me. Never give up praying.
EXODUS 34:6; PSALM 86:15; ACTS 7:60

TROUBLE
There will always be trouble in this life. I said, "In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world." Understand that simply because you live in a fallen world, there will always be trouble. This is why I exhorted My disciples and all who believe in Me to not let their heart be troubled. Trouble can only affect you if you allow it to.
Immediately after I urged My disciples to not let their hearts be troubled, I drew their attention to what awaited them. I told them that I was going to prepare a place for them and where I was they also would be. I said that in My Father's house there are many mansions.
On that day when I shared these words with My followers, I gave the one of the secrets to enjoying life no matter what the circumstances are. Whenever trouble comes, draw your attention away from the trouble and focus on Me. Set your affections of things that are above, not on things that are on this earth. When you do this, you can be of good cheer no matter what happens to you.

FALLING
I am able to keep that which you have committed to Me from falling against that day. Never have anxiety over your future. Yes, I know that sometimes you feel like you are not the best you can be for Me, but I do not see your failings. I only see your fallings, and when you fall, I stand ready to pick you up.
Every one of My believers have occasions when they fall short of My glory. It is during those weak times when your flesh seems to be showing up and showing out, that I want you to call upon Me. I will rescue you from your fleshly lusts that try to pull your attendtion away from Me and direct it to worldly things. When this happens, know that I am face to face with you always. I stand ready with My arms outstretched to catch you.
When you think you are failing Me, understand there is no way you can fail Me. I live within you and I am able to keep you from falling away from Me. Keep moving forward in Me and keep your focus on Me today and you will see how I will work within you both to will and to do of My good pleasure.

SEEK
I exhorted My followers to seek first My kingdom and My righteousness and then all of these things would be added unto them. The things I mentioned that would be supplied to you were clothing, food, drink, and all of your basic needs. I said that you were not to worry about those basic needs.
Later I shared these words with My followers: "Fear not little flock, for it is My Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Let Me share with you now exactly what the My kingdom is. Paul wrote that My kingdom was not meat nor drink. It was, however, righteousness, peace and joy.
When you seek Me with all of your heart and ask Me to use the members of your body as instruments of righteousness, love, peace, and joy, I will take care of those things that you care about. It is never My will for you to be overburdened with the cares of this world - what you will eat, what you will wear, and how you will pay your bills. I have an endless supply and when you seek Me first, I will see to it that you daily needs are met.

CHERISH
I cherish you. Do you believe this? It is so difficult for many of My beloved to know how much I love them. Many desperately need to receive My love. Often there are blocks like rejection that keep them from experiencing the fulness of My love. This revelation comes gradually for some and for others it can happen in a moment.
My love is lavish. My love for you is extravagant. My love for you is unchanging. My love for you is everlasting.
Today meditate on My love and allow Me to have moments during the day just to wrap you in My arms and cherish you. I know you cannot see My arms around you or feel My tender touch, but know with great assurance that I am always with you and that I cherish you with unfailing love.
EPHESIANS 3:14-21
