Our Holy Redeemer,
Thank you Lord that the precious hours of probation linger. Thank you that You would have none to perish, but all to come to repentance. Thank you that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us and that His blood paid the penalty for our debt. Thank you that this Earth is not our home for long. Thank you that You have gone to prepare a place for us and that You will come again and receive us and take us there. Our soul longs for a better world, an Heavenly country. Please forgive us when we've gotten too comfortable here, become complacent, and gotten lazy on "the job." Please bring us back to our first love. Help us to finish the work so that we can come home where we belong. Strive with us today and give us a new stance in You, is my prayer, in the powerfully Lamb's name, Amen.
