A Mother's Day Prayer

Father, We have always prayed that they would grow up to be strong men of God.  I thank you that they continue to grow in that direction.  I pray today that they will know fully the joy of loving and being loved by you.  I pray they will always look to You for guidance. I thank You that You are the source of all truth.  May they ever seek to know that truth and to live their lives in that truth.  May they feed on your Word to get strength and wisdom for the difficult days that will come in their lives. May they follow the example of Jesus and love those around them, even those who are undeserving and unloving toward them. May they have generous hearts towards the weak and the poor. May they have courage to stand up for what is right. May they find their deepest satisfaction in knowing and loving you.  Thank you for the privilege of being their mother.  In the name of Him who died, rose and now ever lives to intercede for us. Amen

God's children

"From now on, we regard no one from a worldly point of view..."  II Corinthians 5:6

I have read this verse many times before, but today its truth really reached my heart.  I have purposed to remind myself of this truth every day, throughout the day.  From now on, I will regard no one from a worldly point of view.  Everyone I meet, everyone I interact with is either a child of God or someone whom God desires to become His child.  I will regard each person from a spiritual, godly point of view, as a person beloved by His Creator.  May it be so.

The Fool
