Growing in Grace

"Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Lord, I thank You that each breath I take is a gift from You.
Lord, I thank You, for those talents that You have given to me--may I use them--and use them for Your glory, not my own.
Lord, I thank You for the spiritual gifts the Spirit has chosen to give to me--may I understand that they are not for my benefit but to bear fruit in the lives of others.
Lord, I thank You for all that You have given me to enjoy--every need met--and so many mere wants You have blessed me with as well..
Lord, I thank You that my weaknesses are conduits through which You infuse me the strength of Your all-sufficient grace.
Lord, I thank You that each day can be spent in a conversation with You.
Lord, I thank You that in my sorrow and my loss You weep with me--and draw me deeper into an understanding of what You suffered for my sake.
Lord, I thank You that my obedience to You is not a duty or a way to somehow earn more of Your love, but the way that You have given me and empowered me to say, 'I love You" all day long.
Lord, I thank You that You so deeply desire a relationship with me that the Spirit reveals to me my sin, calls me to confession, all because You want to walk with me today.
Lord, I thank You that You have promised to fill me with all Your fullness beyond my wildest imagination.
