‘Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before him singing for joy’
Ps. 100 : 1
The Scripture quotation for today calls together all that we have reflected on during the course of this week: the joy of peace of mind and forgiveness; to know that I am specially called to follow Christ; to know that I can improve the lives of others in showing love and respect. Perhaps today, it would be good to bring all this prayer and reflection together, and make a note of the changes I see in my life. Then, hopefully, I can see that today, and in days to follow, I can come before the Lord and serve him with gladness, having received his forgiveness for those times I have not followed him or helped to spread his kingdom.
Prayer
Lord, may this week be a turning point in my life when I can look on your cross and remember my calvary and the cross in my life. All depends on my relying on you. Amen.
