May the inner places of your soul…

Filed under: benedictions — Jeff @ 3:21 pm

May the inner places of your soul
be as spotless as the outside walls
of your treasured reputation.

May you accept the corrections and teachings of God with humility.

And may the words of your mouth
and the meditations of your heart
be acceptable and pleasing
in the sight
of Almighty God.

May you surrender your future

Filed under: benedictions — Jeff @ 3:06 pm

May you surrender your future to the Lord,
your heart and mind open to his direction for your life.

May you walk in the footsteps of Christ,
following his path among the rich and poor,
powerful and lowly,
Seeking to share with each of them
the message of the Kingdom.

And may your life reflect the splendor of god,
your spirit and purpose a testament
of heaven’s perfect love.

May you listen to the messengers of God

Filed under: benedictions — Jeff @ 7:51 am

May you listen to the Messengers of God -
angels sent to you for warning,
encouragement,
wisdom.

May you discern God’s path for your life,
seeking to honor and glorify him in all you do.

And may you heed the call of Christ
surrendering your heart to the Lord of Life,
controlled and consumed by his relentless love.
