Lord, I Love You Because....

-You love me extravagantly
-You are the portion of my heart
-You constantly teach, challenge, and encourage me
-Your Word is lovely, living, and active
-You are the passion that burns within me
-You give my life its meaning and significance
-You give me your beautiful grace on a daily basis
-You lavish my journey with good things
-You stir my spirit
-You draw me to yourself
-You give me friends and mentors to draw strength from
-You teach and show me the depth of my need for you
-You grow and stretch me through my limitations
-You are my sufficiency
-You are my joy
-You are my hope
-You sharpen me
-You work through my humanness
-You show me your power everyday
-You show me new mercy every morning

I love you. May I forever revere and fear your name and all of your ways. Thank you for redeeming me, for choosing me, for cancelling my debts, for believing in my capabilities and my weaknesses, and for walking with me.
