Respite For the Weary
"And I will give them a heart to know Me, for I am the Lord; and they will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart."
Jeremiah 24: 7
Dear God of Grace,
I pray that you will give my children a heart to KNOW You. May they hear and receive Your loving words of devotion: "they will be My people and I will be their God." When they wander from Your presence, please chase them down with Your love, I pray; and cause them to return to You with a whole heart.
(Jesus said), "As my Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and I abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you and your joy may be full." John 15:9-11
Dear Lord,
Abiding is not passive; rather, it's active. May your Spirit that lives in us stir us up so that we will be a vessel of outpouring care and compassion. Help us to keep loving like you so that we can keep living life to the fullest measure. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
