Day 87: Adoption

You adopted us(Ephesians 5:1), we were orphans spiritually, didn't have a father to run to. You are our father, and our mother. Nurturing us to the point of extreme love. That is what you have for your children. When we give our hearts to you, you promise to never leave us or forsake us(Deuteronomy 31:6) because you can't turn your back on us. I know that we can do that, turning our back on you. Run from you, forget about you, ignore that you called us your children. Today Lord you have beckoned us to have this relationship that will not be broken, only by our choice. I know that in the deepest part of myself I could not run from you, only if I was insane. You have shown me complete forgiveness, how to love others, faithfulness, satifaction beyond my knowledge. In Psalm 16:11 you said through your servant David that in your very presence there is the joy that will fill up my whole life, something I cannot get from anyone else or anything. Thank you Lord for you word, those little things that you promised make such a difference every day. Love you God, in Jesus name.

Day: 80: Friends

Lord, I pray for my friends that do not know you on a personal level. Let me be the voice of truth to draw them to you. God help me have wisdom for what to say and when. Holy Spirit I know that you are rising up within me to speak the words of the Father, in gentleness and power. That those who hear will want nothing more than to fall on their faces in repentance and come running to you for forgiveness. I love that you would use me to be a tool for your kingdom. Lord, I agree and believe that it will happen, in Jesus name, amen.
