The
depth of God’s loving mercy is expressed most clearly in the moments when we
have utterly disqualified ourselves from it. Even when the mind cannot
conceive, the heart cannot believe and circumstances will not reveal still He unceasingly
continues His Divine care. God is not good because we know it; He is good
because it is His nature. Father of Mercy and Grace, unblock my blinded vision
of you.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
At the time's when I feel I have let God, my family and friends down the most, He draws me even closer to Himself. The feeling's of guilt and inadequacy seem to be absorbed into His righteousness leaving me with total peace resting in His love for me. What an amazing God this is that we serve.
