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?

The Power of Your Love

It was no accident . . . that the seasons came round and round year after year. It was the Lord speaking to us all and showing us over and over again the birth, life, death, and resurrection of his only begotten Son.

~~Francine Rivers

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

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter—it’s predictable. Every year brings the same rotation of seasons. Each season continuously reveals the glory of our awesome God.

Think of it. We never have to worry that winter might come between spring and summer this year. And what is God showing us over and over again? His constant love and desire to have a relationship with us. He is a predictable and a purposeful teacher, sending Jesus Christ as his audio-visual. Just as the seasons cycle through the calendar, reminding us that some things never change, Jesus was born, lived, died, and rose again to prompt us that God never changes.

As you look out your window today, thank God for his reminder over and over again of his love for you. He created this world and its seasons for you to enjoy. You are his precious child; live out and enjoy his love for you.

Prayer for Meditation

Thank you for the beauty of the seasons and their reminder of your love for me.

Scripture for Meditation

He determines the course of world events; he removes kings and sets others on the throne. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. Daniel 2:21
