August 18

Our Dear Lord,
We thank you that we have a true friend in You. We thank you that we can come to You with all that we are, pitiful, empty, and broken. You never turn us away. You never say, O no, You've sinned again, this is too much for Me to pardon. When we blow it, You gently correct and woo us back to Yourself; for it is us Lord who separate ourselves from You, not You us. We are praising You this morning for being a most tender God. Teach us to love our brother the same, as it is not natural for us. We need Your Spirit so desperately. Come into our hearts and renew our strength in You today. Bury Your love deep in our soul is my prayer, in our strickened Savior's name, Amen.
