I thank You, Jesus, not only for the beautiful joys that You give me, but also for the tears of sorrow that You bring my way.
Thank You for the difficult times, for they drive me to Your arms and I cling to You and You comfort me. They bring me to know You--to abandon my will and my life to You. I can cling to You and You will hold me, no matter what sorrows or storms come my way. I thank You for this unchangeable faith that You give, because You promised it. You told me that You would always be there, and You've never, ever failed me. I thank You, my sweet Lord.
Thank You for all You've given me--not only Your love, but Your life. I praise You and I rejoice that I can love You so completely, with every fiber of my being. With my very life I can love You. This is my praise to You--my life in Your hands. I love how You fashion me. I love to feel the tenderness of Your touch as it molds me. I rejoice to do Your will, O my Lord. I rejoice. For it is a gift of Your love to me. As I melt into Your will and into Your love, You give me such sweet satisfaction that my life becomes praise to You.
