Today's entry in my worship journal, reveling in the love of God.

Thank you, Lord, for your gracious and good love for us, for your patience and kindness where we deserve the opposite.
 
I thank you for the peace, stability and rest that your wonderful character gives us as we gaze upon your face, the face of patience and wisdom, mercy and grace, of rejection of evil and embracing good, of unshifting, unconditional love, of your powerful presence in the whole of the universe.
 
Thank you so much for wholeheartedly making me your son, embracing me with joy, delighting in me with happiness, singing over me with love, enthusiastically making me part of your family. And along with these, giving me an important role in your Kingdom, significant work and full equipping.
 
I praise you, Lord God for your long and wide, high and deep love for me and all that you have created. Help us all who are your children to revel in, bask in, rejoice in, rest in your beautiful, rich, perfect and loving heart, knowing that in you we belong, we have worth and we are competent—truths that no one can ever change.
 
In you, in the midst of this dangerous and shifting world, we have stability, certainty, protection, meaning, a plan to carry us through and a future.
 
We are not limited to the time box of this world; instead it is only the foyer to the endless life we will have with you, with endless youth, endless love and endless involvement in your unending plans for beauty, creativity and ever deepening relationships. Praise be to you, our beautiful Lord, in all that will come to us from you throughout this day.
