Overload. A constant drip-drip diet of news and information hardens
my heart and grows my appetite to congratulate or condemn, to judge among the
nations and the leaders and those who follow.
Judge not, Jesus commanded. Don’t judge others, because the
way you judge them is the way you will be judged. Leave it up to the Lord.
I’m finding this tough.
May I increase my diet of Scripture today, Lord. May I seek
your face; may I search for the signs of grace and mercy in those I meet. May
I, like the child Jesus, grow in grace and truth. Renew my mind by the
transforming power of your Holy Spirit, that my default reactions, thoughts and
emotions, are those of Jesus, and not those of my own base humanity.
May I nurture my relationships today, Jesus, taking care of
those I know and love, learning from you, the seeker of the lost and hurting. In
my personal relationships, I can make a difference, however small. Thank you,
Lord.
Soften my heart and deepen my hope: the expectation that
you, o Lord, will enable and empower me to be all that you want me to be in
this day.
