Day 161

Father, 

We praise You for Your intimate care for those who are far from You. We were those people! We were far from You but You pursued us! Thank You for pursuing Your enemies and for being a God who mourns over the fall of anyone! You show us what love and compassion truly look like, and we praise You for it! 

Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. We’ve rejoiced when our enemies falling and our hearts have been glad when someone who opposes us stumbles. We are ruled by self-interest and self-protection, and we repent. 

Would You give us Your eyes to view people the way You do? Help us grieve when we see them walking the path of destruction. Give us compassion for them that reaches out and calls them to turn to You! 

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
