Reading:1 Peter 1:22-24: "Now, because of your obedience to the truth, you have purified your very souls, and this empowers you to be full of love for your fellow believers. So express this sincere love toward one another passionately and with a pure heart. For through the eternal and living Word of God you have been born again. And this 'seed' that He planted within you can never be destroyed but will live and grow inside of you forever. For: Human beings are frail and temporary, like grass, and the glory of man fleeting like blossoms of the field. The grass dries and withers and the flowers fall off, but the Word of the Lord endures forever! And this is the Word that was announced to you!"
Obedience
Thank you, Lord, for Your eternal gift of living Word growing in our hearts and souls.
Thank you that it can never be destroyed no matter how far we many wander away.
Thank you that this Word from You is offered to every one of us. Thank you that You enable us to listen and to follow and let go of our self-absorbed attitudes.
Thank you for inviting us into Your truth through the presence and power of Your Holy Spirit.
Thank you for not letting go of us when we falter. And instead forgive us our past and resistance and ignorance.
Thank you that Your words become our ongoing breath in all circumstances.
To follow only Your light.
Your thoughts,
