Thank you, Jesus, for giving me new life. The life I am living in this flesh is eternal, and it is not mine; it is yours, Lord. I cannot live your life through my own flesh. I must live through your Spirit. I yield my flesh so that your life within me can be revealed.
Lord, I want to share with others what you pour into me. Above all else, I desire for you to overflow from my life. May your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness continually flow through me. Help me yield to you in every decision and relationship. Where bitterness and hatred exist, may I spread your love. Where there is hurt, may your forgiveness bring healing. Where doubt delays your promise, may faith rise up to overcome uncertainty. Where hopelessness prevails, may I inspire hope. May your light within me dispel the darkness and reveal your grace to all who will believe.
Lord Jesus, I desire to understand rather than being understood. More than seeking comfort, I want to be a source of comfort for others. More than wishing to be loved, I want to love others deeply. I will not trust myself. I will only trust you. Help me let go of selfish desires each day, and grant me your wisdom to be a living witness of your message.
Lord, you didn't just give me something you had; you gave yourself. You gave because of my need and not because of yours. Love motivated you. Now let your love motivate me to unselfishly give myself away. I thank you for the blessing of being used in someone's life today, tomorrow, and the next day. Lord Jesus, I pray that each encounter with someone be an encounter with you.
