Lord,
we thank You for Your great love. There is no love like Your love. We
think of Your Son giving Himself, in death, for us. We think of His
suffering for us and we say, “Saviour of the world, what have You done
to deserve this?” We look at the Cross, and we see more than suffering.
We see love, and we say, “Saviour of the world … what have we done to
deserve You?” Beyond “the mystery of undeserved suffering”, we catch a
glimpse of something else – something very, very wonderful: “the deeper
mystery of unmerited love” (Common Order, Prayer for Good Friday).
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
