A Letter From God For Memorial Day
A Call to Sacrificial Love: Embracing Transformation this Memorial Day
I hear my Lord whispering to me…
My Beloved Child,
As you approach the dual celebrations of Memorial Day and Pentecost Sunday, I want to remind you of the profound meaning behind both of these days.
On Memorial Day, you remember the brave souls who laid down their lives in service of their country, in service of their fellow human beings. Their sacrifice is a poignant reminder of Romans 12:1-2: "I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
1Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2
I don't ask you to die for your country or your fellow man, but to live for them—to give of yourself generously and selflessly. This is your act of worship. This is your living sacrifice.
And then comes Pentecost Sunday, a day of celebration marking the birth of the Church. It’s the day when My Holy Spirit descended upon my disciples, empowering them to continue my work on earth. It symbolizes the transformative power of My Spirit, bringing about renewal and inspiring action.
This is a perfect depiction of the transformation spoken about in Romans 12:1-2. By my Spirit, I call you to resist conforming to the patterns of this world and to allow your mind and heart to be transformed by My love and grace.
As you honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice on Memorial Day, let their courage inspire you. Let it move you to be more selfless, more loving, and more compassionate.
And as you celebrate Pentecost, invite My Spirit to transform you from the inside out. Ask for My guidance and wisdom to discern My will, and for the courage to follow where I lead.
These two days, intertwined in their meaning, call you to live a life of self-sacrifice and transformation, guided by My Spirit. A life where love outshines all else.
May you find in these commemorations the inspiration to live a life worthy of your calling, a life that is a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to Me.
Always remember, I am with you every step of the way. You are my beloved child.
With Love,
🕊 Your Heavenly Father 🕊
EXCELLENT!
