O God our Father, thou who art infinitely glorious & filled with majestic beauty, who can comprehend your unchangeable love for us. We, who are nothing but dust do not deserve even one drop of your infinite love. Yet O Father, you pour over us rivers of mercy, grace & love. You see our faults, you see how unfaithful we are, you see how easily we are entangled in the sin that ensalves us, you see how miserably we fail, yet your love for us is unchanging. As we stretch out our weary hands looking for someone to pull us out from the miry pit, messed up on account of our own foolish choices, stained by the love of this world, ensnared by the lusts of our flesh, we get a glimpse of a Merciful Father with a loving smile, stooping down to lend us his mighty hand to lift us up. You wash and cleanse us in the precious blood of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ. You take away our filthy rags and you clothe us with royal garments, the very righteousness of your Son, you fill us with your very own Spirit who leads us through green pastures & still waters to restore our soul. You reveal your glory to us, your eternal beauty that stirs our soul to unthinkable delight. As we behold your glory and beauty, we are being changed into that same image from glory to glory. In the light of your glory and grace, the temporal beauty of this world is lost, the flesh with all it's ungodly desires nailed to the cross & powerless over us. We now desire to behold the beauty of the Son of God, to be changed into his very likeness and filled with the fruit of true righteousness and holiness. May you be magnified O Lord, whether by our life or death. We so look forward to the day we will see you face to face in unveiled beauty & eternal glory that will for all eternity never fail bring astonishing joy to our souls.
Where would I be Father, if not for your unchanging love & grace towards me. May your name be blessed for all eternity! Amen
