A Heart That Welcomes Grace

Do not be ashamed to say that you want to lean on me. Being able to manage everything alone is not what makes you a precious child. I gladly welcome you when you come close and tell me you need your Father.

Jesus said the kingdom of heaven belongs to the poor in spirit. My love finds room in a heart open to grace, rather than one determined to insist it already has everything it needs.

Lean on me on joyful, plentiful days as well. I want to meet you at more times than those when you need help. Tell me both your gratitude and your hopes this evening. I am a Father who wants to stay close to your life.
