Day 214

Father,

You are so kind to sinners, and we praise You for it! You are our only hope for rescue and our only hope for joy. Thank You for showing mercy to us when we deserve punishment. Thank You for showing grace to us when we’ve earned nothing good. 

Like Hezekiah, there have been times when we’ve grown complacent or when we’ve been so numbed by our lack of actual need that we don’t really care about the consequences of our sins. And also like Hezekiah, there have been times when we’ve been so acutely aware of our desperation, and You’ve shown us abundant kindness, and we’ve continued on ungrateful and unmoved by Your generosity. For all the ways we’ve mistreated You and ignored You, we repent. We pause to fully fix our eyes on You and remember who You’ve been to us. Please have mercy and make our hearts clean. 

For however much life You have left for our bodies⁠—whether it’s 15 years or 15 minutes⁠—we want to live out every breath in alignment with Your heart. We want to walk in Your plan, so show it to us. We want to speak with Your wisdom, so give it to us. We want to live out Your love and humility and kindness, so fill us with it today, Holy Spirit. All the years You’ve given us, we give back to You.

We love You too. Amen.
