Happy Monday....or not?

Happy Monday! I hope you are having a great day so far!  Most people don't cheer for Monday.  I seldom hear:  Thank God it's Monday!  However, Mondays are not all bad.   They can be the beginning of a brand new week; new opportunities, new Divine appointments and more!
I just want to encourage you today to remember that no matter what day it is:  God loves you so very much and that same God is in control.  He has a plan even if we can't see the plan unfolding as we would like.  This life is filled with trials and obstacles but as a Christian we do not face those trials alone, nor in our own power. Today you may be very discouraged and the fact that it is Monday is the least of your worries.   Today you may have just found out that someone you thought you could trust let you down in a big way.  Today you may feel left out and unimportant.  No matter what pain you might feel in your heart, let God's love cover that pain.    As a daughter of the Most High King Jesus, we can know, trust, and depend on His love for us.

Romans 8:28-39 (NASB)
28 And we know that [a]God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies;34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was [b]raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who will separate us from the love of [c]Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written,
For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;
37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Love in Christ,

Melaina
