Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for our beautiful babygirl!

🕊️ Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. 🕊️

John 12:26

In my reading this morning I came upon a page with the above scripture verse and a prayer, as an encouragement for the day. 

This title: “The Way Up is Down”, I found resonance with this expression, as have many who have read the writings of Søren Kierkegaard and Marlena Graves.

The prayer of encouragement:

“Father, it excites me to know that when I serve, I will be where You are. I can be all You want me to be by simply giving myself away to others in their need. 

Thank You that there is honor from You in serving. Sometimes, Lord, I do seem to aspire to lofty positions where others will notice my work. Guard my heart against selfish ambition. Keep my heart away from desiring leadership as much as desiring servanthood. Truly in Your eyes, the way up is down.“

Thank You Lord, for Your Spirit, for leading me upon a path of truth and service, one in which I continue to follow daily. I pray Your Spirit fill me now this day, that I might shine Your light in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
