Return to me…. (devo reflection)

Isaiah 44:21a “Remember these things, Jacob, for you, Israel, are my servant….”
Lord, I feel so inadequate some days to the task of drawing closer to You. I am not a Bible scholar. But I love You so deeply, and I want to know You better. Thank You for knowing my heart.
Isaiah 44:21b “…I have made you, you are my servant; Israel, I will not forget you.”
Lord, Thank You for showing up every morning, for meeting me here, for showing me glimpses of who You are and who You are to me. Thank You for not caring that I am no Bible scholar, for understanding the desire in my heart to know You more.
Isaiah 44:22a “I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist….”
Lord, Thank You for redemption, grace, and forgiveness, for Your fierce love of me even though I am spectacularly human and fallible. Help me to love others as You love me. Help me to shine Your light for all. Amen.
Isaiah 44:22b “…Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”
Have a blessed day.
