Good Morning Lord,
I close my eyes with you and awaken in the morning with you! Thank you for guarding my slumber with your watchful presence, thank you that the same watchful protection covers me as I go about my day.
I read a quote from Barbara Johnson this morning, “Any fool can count the seeds in an apple but only God can count the apples in the seed!”
I sat and thought about this for a while and it made me smile, in fact I smile as I write. The fact that you can know the outcome of a seed before it’s planted. The fact that you know how many hairs are on each of our heads. That you have stored each of our tears in a bottle and carry those bottles tucked safely in your heart.
That you mighty God, creator of the universe and life know each and every one of us and love us anyway. You know the mistakes we will make and you know how many apples we will one day produce.
Thank you, Lord, for looking beyond our sinful selves and seeing the hearts that beat within. Thank you that you know our weaknesses and fears, yet you already know the battles we will triumph over.
You know today and tomorrow. You are today and tomorrow! Thank you I am your today and I am also your tomorrow, you will never leave or forsake me. On this I can stand on this I can build. Jesus my Jewish carpenter build a mansion out of me, that you may have a beautiful home to dwell within.
You know how excited I am getting as I love Christmas and it’s right around the corner! I love the one month of the year where your love permeates stronger then the atmosphere. The lights twinkle, the ribbons shine, the tree sparkles and a feeling of peace and joy fill the air! That’s you Jesus! You are the Peace and Joy!
I love you this day, I will love you tomorrow. Thank you for loving me, just little old me! Thank you for loving me just as I am but never leaving me there! I thank you for a day of quiet peace within. In your glorious name Lord Jesus I offer this prayer. Amen.
I hope you will have a blessed day and thank you for joining me. 🥰
