“He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” Psalm 23:3

What a wonderful privilege it is to cooperate with you, Lord Jesus, in calling all to surrender to you in your majesty and glory, wisdom and love!

Thank you also that we can join you in the great work you are doing in our hearts, maturing, deepening, transforming us in the ways you desire.

You, Lord God, are both mighty and tender: you work on the great level of galaxies and on the delicate and difficult level of the heart. Only you can open understanding, reveal motives, expose sin, shine your light of understanding within and bring repentance and change. You, Lord, are marvelous.

You are the Master Surgeon, cutting through layer after layer of thinly disguised sin, getting down to the root of things, helping us to pull out the root and source of sin and be cleansed, to renounce all that stands against you. Without you we are lost, we haven’t a clue of how to proceed, not a hint of wisdom, not an ounce of power to change.

We praise you for your great love, faithfulness and goods that we live in every day. This picture only shows a tiny part of God’s glory.
