Good afternoon, Jesus

Good afternoon, Jesus. I want to tell you that I'm so thankful for another day of life today. Sometimes it's hard to believe we are able to talk to the maker of all things, that we can hear from you to know exactly what you need us to do. What a good feeling to know you care enough to listen to our heart. Can you imagine that? The maker of all things paying any mind to every desire of our heart. It's enough to wake us up with a smile on our face and excitement for each precious day. 

We too often try to rush through the most important things in life. Every day my first thought is of you. It makes my heart glad and it puts a smile on my face to know you are there for us. It tells me that you are guiding us, our thoughts, our heart, our life toward a purpose. 

I pray you help us to see past our own nose today. Teach us how we can be a blessing to others. Help us to see what could be, and to know how you would want to use us to change the world. We know you go before us to keep our motivation in check and our eyes focused only on you.

Thank you God for the promise of new mercy every day. Your mercy allows us to take a deep breath, shake off the dust of yesterday and know that whatever comes this truly is a blessed life. I will give you praise honor and glory forever.
