Monday’s Reflection
THE FUNDAMENTAL WORD AND EXPRESSION of God’s grace comes in the assurance that we are loved by God. … The knowledge of God’s love for us helps us realize that we need not strive to earn or buy or seize God’s love. It is already there, a gift, a part of who we are . . . for we belong to God.

God I thank you for your unconditional Love that you have for me. I love you so My God and Saviour…..Amen
Thank you Lord for loving us always no matter what. Instead of looking at how bad we are, Lord, help us to look at how good you are. How forgiving, how generous with blessings, how tender with mercies and comfort, how strong to lean on, how loving in discipline. Your love is truly amazing. It gives us joy and a sense of worth. And thank you so much that we don’t have to earn your love but just reach out and take it. We love you Lord and ask that you strengthen our love for you and for others. Amen
