Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - R.S.V.P.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega - the beginning and the end," says the Lord God.  "I am the One Who is, Who always was, and Who is still to come, the Almighty One." 
Revelation 1:8


"All honor to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is by His boundless mercy that God has given us the privilege of being born again.  Now we live with a wonderful expectation because Jesus Christ rose again from the dead."  1 Peter 1:3


"Then Jesus said, 'Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

Father, Your invitation to know You now and to celebrate You eternally includes an R.S.V.P. we must answer.  Today, may the people we know who've refused to glance at You discover they can't live without You.  May those of us who've said "yes" lay our worship at Your Feet today. 
     Use the time, talents, and testimonies You've assigned us for Your Glory and to draw others to You. Help us live "unburdened" lives so lost people won't mock You and Your Grace.  Father, we're slow learners but, please, make us wiser today than we were yesterday. Help us place our tiny hands in Your Heavenly ones as You lead us like cherished babies learning to walk. 
You bless us; may we make the wise choice to accept and live in Your blessing. 
You lift our burdens; may we wisely let You keep them. 
You save us from the power of sin; help us run from anything tempting us to want more of the world and less of You. 
In the Name of Jesus, Prince of Peace and Rest for people who need to unload the sin and/or legalism from their weary souls
