Thank You, father, for this graciuos invitation to come to You. When we come to humility, You do not move away, You come closer. Like the father of the lost son, You see us coming from afar and run to embrace us. You come to us bearing gifts of grace- grace upon grace to meet our every need; salvation when we are lost, wisdom when we are confused, strength when we are weak, healing when we are broken, Thank You, father, for your kindness that lead us to repentence. AMEN.(Lk 15:11-24) AMEN. Blessed be in the name of the Lord my friend.
