Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, on this thankful Thursday, I gotta admit I’d be a lousy god. Peeking over a cloud to check on fallen man, from what I observed, I’d probably say, “Well, that didn’t work, did it?” and then write off these sinners as a lost cause. However, because of Your grace, I’m thankful You are God and I’m not. I could never match Your love, let alone grace. You don’t just redeem and love unconditionally, Lord, You ARE redemption and love. You restore that which our enemy, the devil, destroyed. You take our ashes and make us beautiful. You take our broken dreams and turn them into stories of Your glory. But most of all, thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to take away our sin and give us eternal life. We humbly bow before You, thankful Your grace refuses to give up on us.
May Your Spirit move upon the hearts of men to cause them to put away their prejudices, biases, and discord, and reconcile with one another. Man may change his outward behavior, but in his heart, he can still harbor hatreds toward others. Only You can change hearts. Forgive our sins, Lord. May we turn from our ungodly ways and order our lives according to Your precepts and values.
Thankful You are our sovereign God, Jesus. Amen.
THANKFUL
