My Glorious Father in Heaven,
You are King of my heart and Lord of my life. I’m blessed that You chose me to live in Your royal family! A scruffy ragamuffin, I don’t deserve to live with the Majestic King of Heaven who rules and reigns over the universe. It’s an incredible privilege to be here where I can freely enjoy all of the rich family benefits.
- You forget my past and give me an adventurous new life.
- You graciously pardon my inappropriate behavior, setting me free from guilt, shame and fear of punishment.
- You invite me to indulge in the rich delicacy of Your Word.
- You crown me with love and compassion.
- You wrap me in goodness and eternal beauty.
- You give me the inconceivable opportunity to know You personally and experientially.
- You train me to live like the child of a King.
- Your extravagant love is ever, always and eternally available to me.
O Lord, I’m absolutely astonished and trembling with overwhelming joy. It’s sobering to think that You’ve positioned me in a haughty place that I do not deserve, the heavenly throne room where I can dwell in Your divine presence forever and ever. Filled with extreme gratitude for the awesome things You’ve done, I’ll praise you with my obedience, honor You with my devotion, and glorify You by loving others. You alone are the key to heaven because of Jesus. Amen.
Spend the day pondering all the good things God’s given you. What has He done for you? Make a list of His awesome divine deeds. With a thankful heart, praise Him by your obedience, honor Him with your devotion, and glorify Him by loving others.
