VERSE OF THE DAY

Monday

Psalms 18:1-2 I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

We sing it and we say it in our public prayers: "Father, God, we love You." But notice very carefully the beginning phrase of our verse. "I love you, O Lord..."  Even in public, community worship, we are taught the importance of a personal expression of love to God. When is the last time you told the Creator of the universe, "I love You!"

PRAYER ... Father in heaven, I love You. I love You because You are more than worthy of my love. I love You because You have first loved me. I love You because You sent Your son to be my big brother and pay the price for my adoption into Your family. I love You because of Your faithfulness. I love You because You have permitted me in Your grace to love You. In the name of Jesus, I thank You. Amen.
