Rejoice In Sunday

Oh Heavenly and Gracious Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thank You for this beautiful and glorious Sunday morning You have created for me today. For this day, I praise and honor Your name. This is the day that you have made, I will rejoice and be glad for all that You have in store for me. With every breath I take, I am reminded of the countless blessings You have showered upon me. The very gift of life, the love of family and friends, and the hope that each new day brings, all bear testament to Your unceasing goodness.

On this Sunday, a day set aside to honor and glorify Your name, I take a moment to express my profound gratitude. For the trials that have molded me, for the joys that have uplifted me, and for the quiet moments of reflection that have drawn me closer to You, I offer my heartfelt thanks.

As the world awakens to the possibilities of this blessed day, may my heart overflow with gratitude, recognizing every moment as a gift from You.

An Uncommon Call

Jesus’ obedience began in a small town carpentry shop. His uncommon approach to his common life groomed him for his uncommon call. In order to change the world Jesus had to say goodbye to his world. 1 Peter 1:20 (TLB) says, “God chose him for this purpose long before the world began.” Every ounce of suffering had been scripted. It just fell to him to play the part.

When you come up with a word for such love, give it to Christ. For the day he left Nazareth is the day he declared his devotion for you and me. But God, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. Perhaps we’re not so common after all!

He Became Like Us

John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and lived among us.” The God of the universe left the glory of heaven and moved into the neighborhood. Our neighborhood! Why? Because He loves to be with the ones he loves.

There’s a remarkable story about a man injured in a fire. While attempting to save his parents, his face was burned and disfigured. He wouldn’t let anyone see him, including his wife. When she went to a plastic surgeon for help, he assured he could restore her husband’s face. But she wasn’t there to restore her husband’s face. She wanted her face disfigured so she could share in his pain.

It’s the way God feels about us. He took on our face, our disfigurement. He became like us to show us how far he will go to be with the ones he loves.
