Wednesday

Lord--
It is so easy to become wrapped up in myself. I am so focused on getting the things done that I need to finish. Open my eyes so that I may see the world around me through your vision. May I understand the hurt and the pain, the joys and the celebrations that are going on around me. May I not stare inwardly, but rather focus outward and see again, for the first time, the wonder of our life together. May I truly understand the beauty of the vocation you have called me to perform for your glory. May I reach out in sympathy to those in pain, the hurt and the broken, so they may see a glimpse of your love. May I allow my heart to be moved in order to be renewed in you. May I love freely, speak with love, and give selflessly.
Amen.
