Indescribable love gift
The 12th Sunday after Pentecost
Thank the God of all gods,
His love never quits.
Thank the Lord of all lords.
His love never quits. ~ Psalm 136:3-4 9 (MSG)
Thank God for his gift that words can’t describe! ~ 2 Corinthians 9:15 (CEB)
KEY IDEA:
God's indescribable love gift goes on and on and on and...
PRAYER:
Thank you, Lord, for your unending love. I can't even describe it. Usually, I don't try, though, because I don't think enough about your love. I don't factor it into everything I think, do, and say. Please give me some practical guidance in being thankful. I'm going to live and breath by your love. Amen.
*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS
The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2015 I started posting these Bible verses for my spiritual formation students at Pacific Islands University. In the process of responding to the verses, I found the rhythm of looking for a common thread and writing a prayer based on that key idea to be helpful for my own soul. The prayers are more or less modeled on the TRIP method, which is what I ask my students to do in their journaling. ~ Brad Boydston
