Grateful

Lord, Jesus, I am grateful.  My thankful heart overflows with gratitude for all you have done in my life,  the blessings you have given, the grace you have offered, and the availability of your presence to me. You have opened my heart to worship you, which is the greatest joy of my life, and you have given me the desires of my heart.  Yet, I was made to live for you, and I am an infant in that.  During this time of thanksgiving and this advent season, I pray you will continue to open my heart to others.  Open my eyes to see those around me, so that I reflect your love and your acceptance. May I show justice more and more every day in your world. Heal my heart. Restore my broken image of myself, so that I have the vision to see others as you would see them.
Mark 32-33 "The scribe said to Him, 'Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that He is one, and there is no one else besides Him; and to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength,  and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.'”
