Thank God I'm Forgiven! PTL! WORSHIP  and invite God to come and inhabit your praise. He will!

Good Morning Redeemed Friend of God! He loves you so much (John 3:16)! He calls you by name and draws close as you draw close to Him. He is present and sent us presents (Jesus, Gifts, Abilities, His presence...)! Meditate on the below offerings for  and rejoice as you enter this day with much  and joy! Amen!

Connection:

Oh Christ, forgive my hardness of heart, and my stubborn grasp on my own concerns. Please help me to step into the plans and purposes of Your loving heart. May my prayer life be a stream that flows into Your river of love, pouring out upon my enemies, the lost, the poor, the orphaned, and the marginalized faceless people who drift across my path every day! Help me to focus upon them with Your eyes, motivated by love birthed from Your heart.
