Give me a bible verse full#
I want to please you with my words and thoughts, but even more, Father, I want to live a life full of your character, wisdom, and grace.
O God, give me a heart that is quick to obey and a faith that is quick to express itself in action. So without arguing, let's quickly obey, even when we don't fully understand why, because we've seen God's love demonstrated to us in Jesus and we've seen the protection that his will has for us when we obey him. Without action, our faith is not real, James 2 reminds us. I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands May my life reflect your grace to others who need your love. Please help me to treat them fairly and with love, just as you have treated me. Loving Father, I know I will meet people today who need me to be generous with my love, time, forgiveness and money. Generosity and justice are needed in our selfish world. Generosity is love expressed in practical ways with joy. Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice.
How can we claim to know salvation and not share it with others who need that grace!? Why? Because that is what Israel was in Egypt and that is what Jesus was at Calvary and that is what we were without grace ( Romans 5:6-11). We are called to love the unloved, the forgotten, the abused and neglected. Jesus' love for children in an age when they weren't those whom highly regarded is a powerful reminder of God's love for the world often abuses or abandons. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." It is through your Son, the Christ promised in Scripture, that I pray. I confess to you that I want Jesus to be Lord of my life because I believe him to be your Son and my Savior. Living God and Holy Father, I believe you sent Jesus as your Son to save me. We may not know all the theological import behind those words – after all, Peter didn't at the time – but we can make a commitment to know him and follow him until we do. We are to confess Jesus before others, and when we do we are assured that he confesses us before the Father in heaven. \There is no other name under heaven that can save us ( Acts 4:12). "Who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
