"Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen."
from The Book of Common Prayer, quoted by Elisabeth Elliot (Passion and Purity)
my forgetful heart
Often distracted and unfaithful, I forget the gospel truth I need so desperately-- but my gracious Savior always brings me back to himself. This is a space for me to share His goodness in teaching, molding, and sanctifying me for His glory.
This was an absolute God-hug, Allison. I needed to read that right now. Thank you.
