Jeremiah 31:3 “The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: ‘Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.’
Dear God,
You have provided me with life, substance and a purpose for living. Your everlastings love over arches me whilst I dwell upon earth.
I am so glad You want for me to be saved from the consequences of my sins = eternal death. It is amazing that You pour out Your love, upon all creation; and have not left out, the one planet that is full of sinners. Your love is so all comprehensive, that no matter who we are, You want a relationship with us.
Psalm 103:11 “For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him. V 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. V 13 As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him.” I give thanks again, for the privilege of being asked to call You, Father. 1 John 3”1 “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God.”
You have heard my contrite prayer, for the many times I have not valued You and Your care, as I should, especially the relationship You wish to have with me. Also for the times of not giving thanks and praise, from a deeply loyal and grateful heart; instead of the all too frequent, superficial thinking about You, that I offer up as worship.
I rejoice that I have a growing appreciation for the gift, of Your only begotten Son, Jesus to the world, and “that whosoever believes in Him should never perish, but have everlasting life.” I am sobered to think, it took the atoning death of Jesus for me, to be saved from my sin. Such a momentous gift and action! Due only to Your character of absolute love which allowed Jesus, also filled with absolute love, to come upon His rescue mission to Satan’s hostile dwelling place; amidst many people given over to the control of this ultimate deceiver.
By Your wisdom and power I again ask You into my life, to will and work in my heart unto salvation.
Amen.
