Abundant love
Turn and come to my rescue.
Show your wonderful love
and save me, Lord. ~ Psalm 6:4 (CEV)
As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give good things to people who ask. ~ Matthew 7:11 (CEV)
KEY THOUGHT:
God is generous with his kindness.
PRAYER:
God, thank you for loving us and being so generous. I am especially grateful that you love us so much that you sent your Son Jesus into our world to sacrifice himself so that we could be rescued from death. However, I still live as though your love is limited and that I need to prove myself worthy for more. Please, rewire my brain so that I can recognize the vastness of your abundance and leave behind my scarcity mindset. I'm going to live out your immeasurable love, kindness, and generosity in my life. Amen.
