The Flower & The Sun

Join me on this Sofa Chat as we chat about positioning ourselves in the Light.

Positioning is everything. If you position yourself before Truth, than Truth is what you will lean into and you will live by. Those who stand in the sunshine of My Truth will bend their lives toward Truth. Do you notice how a flower will bend itself toward the light when it is put in the light? It allows its whole being to shift and position itself so that it can take in all its nutrients. And so it is for your life. I am the Sun, you are the flower. And as you choose to position yourself and stay in the Light and bask in My rays, your whole life will shift and bend in My direction toward truth and love. 

 

 

Prayer: Thank you Lord for being the beautiful Sun that we are invited to bask in. Your love is so warm and wonderful. And just like a flower needs the sun, so our hearts need you. We were created to need you like a flower was created to need the sun.

 

Help us position ourselves intentionally in your light everyday, basking in your truth and absorbing your love so that our whole lives will then bend in your direction. 

 

And wash away all things, God, from our hearts and minds that have corrupted us and even tortured us -- fear, anxiety, lies. These are all things that you never want us to bask in. May we denounce those things in our life and be forever positioned before You, our light and source of wholeness and health. In Jesus Name.

This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all… if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬, ‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.

‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭46‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

In a fast-paced world, Sofa Chats invites you to slow down for a few moments to think about life and the Giver of Life. You'll enjoy its honest, conversational, and poetic approach as Valerie candidly shares her heart, her fictional & non-fictional stories, poems, and devotionals. Each one is intertwined with little discoveries she has made about God from His Word, from living everyday life with Him, and from quiet moments spent with Him. She encourages every reader that God greatly desires to connect with each and every one of us – showing us who He is and who we are in Him. So come on in! There's a place on the sofa saved just for you.
