Good Friday afternoon, my friends.
The prayer below is one I would not have shared with you even a short time ago. I say that because it would not have resonated with me - I had not experienced the type of relationship with God that it conveys. And even now I am only sticking my toe in the water of the love my Father has for me. I share this because I want you to know that if you "aren't feeling the love", take heart. Continue to pursue God. Ask. Seek. Knock. Open the door and Christ will come in, sit, and eat with you (Revelation 3:20). And if you are already in the deep end of God's love, you know the water is fine!
Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Father, the accolades, merits, relationships and physical treasures I've accumulated in this life are but rubbish when compared to the all surpassing gift of knowing You, receiving Your forgiveness, and experiencing Your redemptive love.
Because I am risen with Christ I want to place my affections on things above rather than things on this earth where I am so easily distracted from that which really matters and draws me closer to Your throne.
To know You, Father, is to know unfathomable peace and joy beyond measure.
I thank You through Christ Jesus my Lord.
Amen.
