| How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. |
| Psalm 36:7, AMP |

Never Too Mature To Pursue Your Dreams | |
Divorced. Mature. Displaced.
Most people would have been discouraged by these official terms to
describe their status in society, but not a precious lady who wrote to
me sharing her testimony. She didn’t let how others saw her stop her
from pursuing her dreams—she applied for a university education in her
latter years. What caused her to rise above those voices of defeat? What
caused her to be success-minded?
She shared with me that
through reading my devotionals on God’s grace and Jesus’ finished work,
she became infused with faith and boldness to pursue her dreams no
matter what limits others put on her. Instead of seeing herself
divorced, old and displaced, she said, “I see myself as God says I
am—His beloved. Because I am His beloved, I’m trusting Abba for abundant provision.” She saw Almighty God backing up her dreams and giving her a great future despite her age.
Beloved, immerse yourself in the truth of God’s unmerited favor toward you today. Be conscious every day that you are His beloved—and pursue your dreams with boldness and hope!
