Devotional Reflection

LoveGratitudeHopeCompassion

We can put food in our mouths, say bad words, or talk about other people. Or, we can choose to praise God and His loving grace with every word we say. We can talk about many different things with many different kinds of people. Or, we can choose to talk about how big, powerful, and beautiful our Heavenly Father is all day long. Why don't we praise God out loud, tell Him how great He is, and tell others about His kindness as we go about our day?

Prayer

You are the Almighty Father, the Creator of all things, and the Giver of all grace. I appreciate the kindness You showed me through Jesus. I'm grateful for Your strong triumph over death when You brought Him back to life. I appreciate Your patience with me as I occasionally make mistakes but always strive to more closely resemble Jesus' character. O Lord, kindly assist me in professing and demonstrating my love and admiration for You today. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
