The Lord came to WRAP you in:
Who HE is
Who HE says YOU are
What HE says HE will do
Luke 1:28, 34-35, 37-38 (NIV) The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. For no word from God will ever fail.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
Romans 4:16,20,24 (Msg) This is why the fulfillment of God’s promise depends entirely on trusting God and His way, and then simply embracing Him and what He does. God’s promise arrives as pure gift…When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what He had said… The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe the One who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were equally hopeless.

I receive Your love, like a sponge. I am vessel for Your love. Pour over me. Fill me, wash me, heal me, strengthen me. You see me here God and You love me completely.” Then get silent and allow your heart to enjoy the truth that God sees you, fully, and loves you completely. “
