We look, Lord, for happiness, but we cannot find it. Why do we keep
missing happiness? We’re looking in the wrong place. We try to find
happiness in ourselves. You’re saying to us, “You’ll only find happiness
when you come to Jesus. Only Jesus can fill the God-shaped blank in
your heart.” Teach us, Lord, to listen to Your voice, speaking to us of
Jesus, calling us to come to Him and receive from Him Your gift of
salvation. Help us to rejoice in Jesus, to be glad that He is our great
Saviour.
Lord, help us never to think, “We are blessed because we are obedient.” Help us always to say, “We are blessed because You love us and Jesus died for us.” Your love for us, Jesus’ death for us: This is where the blessing comes from – and it’s where our obedience comes from! We think of Your great love for us. We think of Jesus, crucified for us. We say, “Lord, You love me. Help me to love You.” We say, “Jesus, You died for me. Help me to live for You.” This is how Your blessing comes to us – You show us how much You love us, You put Your love into our hearts, the obedience grows stronger – and so does the blessing!
