Today’s Verse:
"Because God is love." – 1 John 4:8
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
You know how we feel when we lost something we treasured. The heart-broken feeling was really tough to manage. We would try to buy replacements, but there are certain things we just cannot replace. Things like: engagement/wedding rings or photoes of moments we treasure...
What about the love of the Father? We are sorry Lord, for being so insensitive, for being so ignorant and for being so rebellous sometimes. So often we pray to You, we ask for Your Almighty help and as soon as we thought we didn't receive Your goodness as expected, we would behave like a spoiled child, so obnoxious!
Have we ever imagine how hurt the Father would feel? The God who gave His only son to us, to wash away our sins. The God who knew us so well, that He even counted the number of hair on our heads. The God who spent countless hours listening to our prayers, our ups and downs in life and our fears, our joy, our doubts etc...
Whatever it is—it is nothing compared to the love of Christ. Can you imagine losing his love? Actually, maybe you think you can or have lost his love because of something you did or failed to do. Maybe you fear you lost his love because you didn't spend enough time praying or worshiping God. Or maybe you think you lost his love because you haven't gone to church lately.
As Richard Bach says “There's no disaster that can't become a blessing, and no blessing that can't become a disaster”. Father, You love us and You cherish us, there's no greater love than this. But so often, we didn't realise that You are using "disasters" to change us and mold us. Likewise, we didn't understand that You turned our blessings into disasters for the purpose of opening our eyes to SEE clearly some earthly matters. Father, whatever our circumstances are currently, don't quit loving us.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
