God wants us to seek Him not merely for the functions He
performs
but just for the sheer joy of relationship with Him.
~~Mary Demuth
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.
Recall
your very favorite birthday present as a child. Maybe it was a special doll, a
hand-made sweater, or a favorite book or musical selection. While the gift may
have been memorable, it’s likely that your memory of the giver is even more
poignant. Watching her face mirror yours as she saw your delighted expression,
the awareness of how well she knew you in order to choose this particular gift,
the generosity and sacrifice of buying or making this gift for you—they all
said one thing, I know you and I love you.
Our
lives are brimming with lovely gifts from God. It’s so important that we don’t
forget for a moment to seek to know and love the Giver more than the gifts. He
alone is the best gift we could ever receive.
Smile
with sheer joy! You have a relationship with the God who knows you best!
Prayer
for Meditation
Lord, I have sheer joy in the fact
that you know me and love me.
Scripture
for Meditation
Whatever
is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the
lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. James
1:17
