LBW #243, "Lord, With Glowing Heart"
Devotion
Praise lifts the spirit. We want to extol the person and acts of God. When you focus on what God has done for you, you’ll see grace in action.
Grace is an undeserved blessing. It is "everything for nothing to anyone who doesn't deserve anything." It flows out of the wonderful love of God.
We may say, "How can I sing a song like this when I feel as empty and down as I do?" Feelings fluctuate. Don't wait till you feel like it to sing. Sing till you feel like it. Feelings may come imperceptibly slow, but they will come. Wait for them.
Prayer
Father, give me the feelings I long for. Give me feelings that go with these beautiful words. Amen.
