Father, I love you for who you are, not for what you give me.

We must learn to seek God’s face and not his hand. 

~~Joyce Meyer  

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.

Dad would come back from his business trips and the first thing we’d ask him is, “Did you bring us anything?”

Smiling, Dad would tell us to go and look in his suitcase and there we’d find them, gifts from his trip. It became such a habit that we anticipated Dad’s return, not so much to see him, but to see the gifts he brought.

Does that sound at all like your relationship with your heavenly Father?

While God delights in giving good things to us, he does not want to be simply a Giver of gifts; God wants to be the Giver of life. He wants you to seek not his hands full of gifts, but his face full of love and protection and guidance. God desires that you seek him for who he is.

Seek God’s face today. That will be enough.
