Lord Jesus Christ,
We are so thankful that you have said, “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
We are thankful for the ease with which you walked upon this earth, the generosity and kindness you showed to people, the devotion with which you cared for those who were out of the way and in trouble, the extent to which you even loved your enemies and laid down your life for them.
We are so thankful to believe that this is a life for us, a life without lack, a life of sufficiency. It’s so clear in you, the sufficiency of your Father and the fullness of life that was poured through you.
We’re so thankful that you have promised that same love, that same life, that same joy, that same power for us.
Lord, slip up on us today. Get past our defenses, our worries, our concerns. Gently open our souls and speak your Word into them.
We believe you want to do it, and we wait for you to do it now.
In your name, Amen.
From A Life Without Lack, Dallas Willard
