What a beautiful and powerful declaration of faith. To know and feel that the love of God is upon your life is to understand your true identity, purpose, and security. It is the greatest blessing and the most solid foundation.
Here is a celebration of that truth.

The Love of God Is Upon My Life
It is not a distant, general grace,
A mere smile upon the human race.
It is a focused,personal light,
That makes my path and future bright.
The love of God is upon my life.
It rests upon me like a crown,
It covers me when I break down.
It goes before me like a shield,
A promised harvest in my field.
This love is not a passing mood,
Based on my failure or my good.
It is a choice,a sovereign decree,
From eternity,for me.
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.”(Jeremiah 31:3)
It is the sun that warms my day,
The compass guiding me His way.
The love that calms my deepest fear,
And tells my heart,“I’m always near.”
Because this love is on me, I
Can face the truth and not deny
My flaws,my needs, my broken parts,
For this love mends and fills our hearts.
It empowers me to love in turn,
His holy flame within me burn.
To see my neighbor with His eyes,
And serve the truth that never dies.
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” (1 John 4:16)**
So let this truth my anthem be,
For all the world to hear and see:
A banner over me,His child,
In desert place or forest wild.
The love of God is upon my life.
It is my story.
It is my song.
It is my strength.
It is my home.

A Prayer of Gratitude and Receiving:
"Father, thank you. Thank you that Your love is not a far-off concept, but a tangible, active reality upon my life. I receive it afresh today. I walk in the confidence and security that it provides.
When I feel unseen or forgotten, remind me that Your loving gaze is upon me. When I feel weak, let me feel the strength of Your loving hand. Let this love shape my identity, direct my steps, and overflow from me to everyone I meet.
I am who I am because Your love is upon me. Thank you.
In Jesus' name, Amen."
