We love, because He first loved us.    1 John 4:19

I love Thee, O LORD, my strength.    Psalm 18:1

Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that He breached the chasm separating us from Him through the death and resurrection of His Son. What possible response can we have other than thanksgiving, praise and love? But there is a hurting world around us filled with people who desperately need Him. Are we careful to share God’s love with others, knowing that this, too, is a proper response to the marvelous gift He has bestowed on us?

Dear Lord,

I am so grateful for Your amazing love. Thank You for delivering me from sin and death and giving me eternal life in Your kingdom. Thank You for Your kindness and compassion and for the innumerable ways You pour out Your love for me. I praise You, Lord, for Your grace and forgiveness, and ask that You make me aware of opportunities to share Your goodness and mercy with others who need You.

I love You Lord, Amen.
