His Prized Possession

Whatever is good

and perfect

comes down 

from God our Father,

who created

all the lights 

in the heavens.

He never changes

or casts a shifting shadow.

He chose

to give birth 

to us

by giving us

his true word.

And we,

out of all creation,

became

his prized possession. 

James 1:17~18

_______________________________________________________

Enable us to dwell and stand on the truth of Your Word.

All that is good comes from You.

As we reflect and take inventory of our lives,

at times we get distracted by the unexpected

mistakes, disappointments, and frustrations,

help us instead to glean from goodness.

Even in darkness,

good springs forth.

And, it is You
working to bring about our best interest.

You do not waste time or experiences.

Even in the apparent insignificant, every day moments.

You are teaching, forming, molding and showering us with grace.

You never change.

We do.

Our circumstances, our mind, our wants, our needs, our attitudes,

sometimes one at a time,
sometimes all at the same time.

But, You are not moved

just because we are.

You remain.

That constant and consistent truth keeps us secure

and grounded.

You created light.

By day, the sun provides the way.

Even in the storm, the sun doesn't leave.

At night, the moon and stars take over.

A sure reminder that You are near.

You gave us Your word.

This word brings us life.

Makes us whole.

Heals our body.

Comforts our grief.

Transforms our lives.

Ignites and empowers our dreams.

Carries us through our journey.

And, brings us safely home.

Freely and with no strings attached.
For no other reason,
than love.

(Speechless)

Why?

Because we are Your prized possession.

Your love is not contingent upon

what our hands can produce,

our outward or inward appearance,

our personality,

talents

or things.

Oh no, You love us because we belong to You.

We are the crown of Your creation.
No one has loved us the way You have.

Nothing we do or feel or say or think 

can make you love us any more or any less.

Your love is perfect,

forever.

So, today and always, 

We offer our worship,

our gratitutde,

and devotion

to You.

Our heavenly father, our God~

Love,

Your Prized Possession
