John 17:24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
Precious Savior, Today I just want to say Thank You–for blue skies and sunshine, for the fall season, which shows me that change can be incredibly beautiful (even though I still don’t love change), for the people You have placed in my life whom I love so deeply, who love me deeply, too.
John 17:25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.
Dearest Father, Thank You that when we are slogging through valleys, when difficult times come, and they always do, You use them to draw Your children closer in ways that aren’t possible when we are on the mountain tops. I don’t like the hard times, but I am so thankful for the closeness to You that results.
John 17:26a I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known…
Loving God, Thank You that You created me to praise You and to encourage others. Thank You that words matter and that I can use them to edify others. Thank You that I can lift others, encourage others, even when I am struggling, and that I am always encouraged in return. Thank You, Lord. Thank You. Amen.
John 17:26b …in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
Have a blessed day.
