For When I am Forgetful

All that I am, praise the Lord.
    Everything in me, praise his holy name.
My whole being, praise the Lord.
    Do not forget all his kindnesses.
The Lord forgives me for all my sins.
    He heals all my diseases.
He saves my life from the grave.
    He loads me with love and mercy.
He satisfies me with good things.
    He makes me young again, like the eagle.
Psalm 103: 1-5  International Children's Bible

Only he can do great miracles.
    His love continues forever.

Psalm 136:4 ICB

Oh Lord, 
help me to remember all your kindnesses
to not forget these two things:

You alone do great miracles

Your love endures forever

Emblazon this on my consciousness today

You are the God of miracles

When all I see and feel is limitation and pressure and concern
the parameters I cannot get beyond

You are the God who is outside this box that I feel trapped in
You are the God who busts the box apart
You are not limited by anything
You are able to work in ways I cannot imagine
You are able to do what I could never conceive
You are amazing

You may not do what I want 
when I want it

But you are working, loving, caring and doing
in ways I cannot understand or perceive

And your ways and works are glorious

But even more glorious

You are the God of enduring love

No one loves like you do

10 True love is God’s love for us,
 not our love for God. 
God sent his Son to die in our place
 to take away our sins.  I John 4:10 ICB

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
I Corinthians 13:4-8a The Message


Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not become angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices over the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always continues strong. I Corinthians 13:4-8a ICB


Love never ends.
Only you are all these things all of the time
Praise you O Lord

 help me to remember these two things today:

Only he can do great miracles.
    His love continues forever.

Psalm 136:4 ICB
