Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time for us to
- 0:03Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And this morning, I just
- 0:08Speaker 1: think about the fact that God loves us in spite
- 0:10Speaker 1: of us, in spite of our failures, in spite of
- 0:13Speaker 1: our mistakes, He still loves us, Oh, Heavenly Father. Today
- 0:18Speaker 1: we come before you with humble hearts and with grateful spirits,
- 0:21Speaker 1: simply saying thank you. Thank you for loving us in
- 0:24Speaker 1: spite of us. Thank you for loving us on our
- 0:27Speaker 1: best days and on our worst days. Thank you for
- 0:31Speaker 1: loving us when we were faithful and even when we struggled.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Your love has never been based on perfection, and for that, Lord,
- 0:39Speaker 1: we are grateful. Father. We think about all the times
- 0:44Speaker 1: you showed mercy instead of judgment, grace instead of rejection,
- 0:47Speaker 1: patience instead of punishment. We cannot help but say thank you, Lord,
- 0:52Speaker 1: because truthfully, there were moments we doubt it, moments we disobeyed,
- 0:57Speaker 1: moments we delayed, moments we knew better, but we didn't
- 1:01Speaker 1: do better. Yet your love remained. Lord. Thank you for
- 1:04Speaker 1: loving us when we were broken, loving us when we
- 1:07Speaker 1: were confused, loving us through mistakes and failures and disappointments,
- 1:11Speaker 1: and seasons where we felt far away from you. Even
- 1:15Speaker 1: when we question ourselves, you still called us chosen. Even
- 1:19Speaker 1: when we felt unworthy, you still called us loved. Father,
- 1:24Speaker 1: Thank you for not giving up on us. Thank you
- 1:27Speaker 1: that our failures did not cancel your purpose. Thank you
- 1:31Speaker 1: that our struggles did not change your mind about us.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Your mercy met us over and over again, and your
- 1:37Speaker 1: compassion carried us through places we thought would break us. God,
- 1:43Speaker 1: forgive us for the times that we've been harder on
- 1:45Speaker 1: ourselves than you have been. Forgive us for carrying shame
- 1:49Speaker 1: you already covered with grace. Teach us to receive your
- 1:52Speaker 1: love fully and to walk in the freedom of knowing
- 1:56Speaker 1: we are forgiven, We are accepted, and we are deeply
- 1:59Speaker 1: cared for. Lord, help us to remember that your love
- 2:02Speaker 1: is not earned, it is given. We don't have to
- 2:05Speaker 1: strive for God, we don't have to prove ourselves for it,
- 2:08Speaker 1: and we don't have to become perfect to receive it.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Your love is perfect and it is unending. You loved
- 2:15Speaker 1: us before we had everything together. You loved us before
- 2:20Speaker 1: we understood who we are or who you are. And
- 2:23Speaker 1: you love us still, Father, because you've loved us with
- 2:27Speaker 1: such mercy, Help us to extend that same grace to others.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Let us be patient, let us forgive, Let us love
- 2:34Speaker 1: people beyond their flaws, because that is how you have
- 2:38Speaker 1: shown love to us, and that's the way God you
- 2:41Speaker 1: love us. So today we pause and say thank you.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Thank you for every door you open. Thank you for
- 2:47Speaker 1: every mistake you redeemed, every tier you collected, and every
- 2:51Speaker 1: time you loved us and carried us when our own
- 2:56Speaker 1: strength failed. Thank you for loving us in spite of us.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for staying. Thank you for your
- 3:01Speaker 1: grace that never runs out. In Jesus' name. Amen, Amen,
- 3:06Speaker 1: and Amen,
