For we live by believing and not by seeing.

He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. 

Our hearts ache, but we always have joy.

For God loves a person who gives cheerfully. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart to see you in all things. Help me to rest in your truth and live for you. Allow me to rejoice in the trials and direct my hands to do your work.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
