Most Precious Savior, a sincere desire to serve You requires that I align my desires with Yours. It means that I will love the things You love and hate the things that You hate. If I do not detest the actions of people who take advantage of others or if I admire people who only look out for themselves or I envy those who get ahead using any means they can, then my primary desire is not to please You. I must learn to discern between good and evil by rejecting the ways of those who behaviors are not acceptable to You or they do not align themselves with Your way of doing things. I have been saved from Hell through my faith in You and not by any good deeds that I have done. By accepting You as Redeemer, I understand that I am now empowered to do good works on Your behalf. My love for others and for You is my response to Your gift of forgiveness. All of us who have been forgiven must love much.
Since my faith expresses itself through love, I can check my loving actions toward others as a way to measure my faith. An experience of the “fullness of the God” can only be realized through my devotion to You. In union with You, I’ve been given a pathway to prosperity and the empowering of the Holy Spirit. As Your child, and a joint heir, the “riches” of Heaven have been made available to me. The tools You have provided for me to experience the “riches” of belonging to You are my faith and daily prayers. Through Your gift of the Holy Spirit, You have filled my life with Your love and power. As I focus more on You and incorporate Your ways into my life, I feel myself becoming more like You and my life becoming complete. I am looking forward to my life being more intertwined with Yours and allowing myself to be guided in Your ways. In making You Lord, I’ve made the decision to submit my ways to Your ways.
Because of Your love for me, I know that I can reach out to You and You will hear and respond. Each time that I receive an answer to a prayer, my faith is enlarged. I must never forget that You are always near, listening closely for my voice, and ready to spring into action to meet my needs. Because I believe You are aware of the things going on in my life, I know You will help me handle them appropriately. I feel like my time spent with You Is never wasted. I can spill out my heart to You and I know You will respond with a soft, gentle voice that comforts and encourages me. With the renewing of my thinking to match Yours, I believe I will become a mirror reflecting You to whomever I come into contact with. In accepting You as my Lord of Lords, my life could not be better and I look forward to walking in Your grace. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God is my Rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my Shield and the Horn of my salvation, my Stronghold.
