Dear Lord,
Again and again, I am amazed by your unconditional love. Cause each of us to come to our senses in areas of our lives that are keeping us distant from you. As we approach you with reverence, thank you for running to us. We are humbled by your complete forgiveness and loving embrace. In Jesus' Name, Amen
