Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, on this Thankful Thursday, we’re thankful all You want is a humble and contrite heart. Those religions that demand change of behaviors to be accepted or adherence to strict rules to go to heaven, do not understand Your grace. In Your love, You call all people to come to you as we are. Your followers find Your words faithful and true. “Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden [frustrated trying to keep man’s religious rules] and I will give your rest” [peace with God and eternal life] (Matthew 11:28). Thank You that when we were unable to change, for divinely changed our heart.
We pray You send Your Holy Spirit to draw all people to You, and that those who respond will find You to be what they have been missing all their life. Forgive our sins. Heal our nation as we return to following Your principles and obey Your precepts. Teach us how to truly love one another as You love.
Thank You for changing what I never could, Jesus. Amen.
