Writing Love on My Heart
(Adoration)

Lord, I give thanks for Your greatness, Your goodness, and Your love; and I now draw near to enjoy Your presence.

The Lord my God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. (Deuteronomy 10:17–18)

My soul magnifies the Lord
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
For the Mighty One has done great things for me,
And holy is His name.
His mercy is on those who fear Him,
From generation to generation. (Luke 1:46–47, 49–50)

Take a moment to consider God’s awesome majesty, and thank Him that He loves you and wants an intimate relationship with you.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. (Matthew 5:7)

I will not let love and truth leave me; I will bind them around my neck and write them on the tablet of my heart. (Proverbs 3:3)

Lord, I thank You for the justice and perfection of Your work and for Your promise of future glory. I thank You for gathering all things together in Christ, and I ask that I would be merciful, loving, and truthful.
