God, use me to write your love on the hearts of others today

\

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.

~~Mother Teresa

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

There’s something about a handwritten note that means so much more than even the kindest e-mail or text message. A thank you, an “I love you,” a note that says, “I’m thinking of you” when written by hand above your signature sends a special message to the receiver: “You are worth it.”

You are like the precious pencil in God’s hand. God is sending a love letter to the world—and you are that personalized note. He sends you when someone needs love, tenderness, companionship, encouragement, courage, or kindness. Your small stroke of a smile or your willingness to erase others’ mistakes sends an unmistakable message of God’s love. A pencil? Seems small and unimportant and certainly not high-tech, but it is oh so powerful.

Like Mother Teresa, you are a little pencil in God’s hand, writing a love letter to the world. What message is he sending through you today?
