Devotional Reflection

Worthy! What a lovely word! As followers of Jesus, we know of only one person who is truly worthy. He is good enough to open the scroll and see what will happen. He deserves to be praised and adored. Why? Even though He was perfect, holy, and from heaven, His death on the cross to buy our forgiveness, salvation, and pardon made Him worthy. And He did it not just for us, but for people of all races, languages, and cultures. Jesus, You deserve it!

Prayer

You are worthy, holy Lamb of God! I love and adore You because You deserve it. You are deserving of my adoration and devotion. And Holy Father, I thank You for sending Him to save me as part of Your plan. I want to live my life in devoted service to You and Your will because of Your grace in Jesus. I apologize for the times I've gotten off track. I appreciate You allowing me to come back to You. I offer my love and gratitude in the name of Jesus, Your holy Lamb who died in payment for my sins. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
