Praise for as Long as You Live

My dear son,

I want you to enjoy loving me throughout the days of your life. My love is a precious gift that fills your life deeply. It is a joy to hear you sing of that love with your own lips.

We can be together when you lift your hands in praise and when you use those same hands to work or care for someone. Let the heart you bring to worship continue into the everyday places of your life.

Begin this morning by sharing your love with me. The words need not be long or polished. I gladly receive your desire to walk close to me throughout your life, and today I hold you in love again.

With all my love,
Your Father

Psalms 63:2–4

WEB

2So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
3Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
4So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
