Prayer this prayer today - may we loosen our grip on the things we need and hold them out to the Savior instead to receive Him.
The One Thing
We hold tight to the things we think we need.
Spending ourselves for what we can get.
Searching for the greatest, the biggest, the best.
How quickly and easily we forget.
Only one thing is needed.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
The image of the invisible God.
He came so that we could have life and have it to the full.
The fullness of God was born for us.
He holds nothing back.
He offers all of us- all of himself.
The True Gift is the Giver of every good and perfect gift.
He IS abundantly more.
He gifts US abundantly more.
The greatest gift is freely given
without regret or reservation.
The only thing we really need
is to loosen our grip and open our hands to receive.
Heavenly Father,
May we learn to let go of the things we shouldn’t hold
and live out of his abundance.
May his gifts be an overflow
from our open hands into the world around us.
For his Kingdom and for his glory.
Amen.
