Opening Prayer: Thank you, O Lord, that you do not give us what we deserve. We deserve Divine justice, and yet you give us your mercy. Thus, help us to live our lives from the place of deep gratitude, rather than out of a spirit of entitlement. Lord, have mercy! Amen.
Scripture: Luke 7:1-10
Journal: What do you really believe you deserve? How does that affect the way you live your life? Do you live more with a heart of gratitude, or a spirit of entitlement? What can you do to cultivate gratitude?
Reflection:
i deserve better
luke 7:2-10
i deserve better
is the ultimate deception
poison to the soul
for it produces a
spirit of entitlement
rather than a
heart of gratitude
it erodes joy
and befriends bitterness
it chooses pride
over humility
it abides in darkness
rather than light
it feeds on lies
rather than the truth
leading to bondage
rather than freedom
it is the broad road
that leads to destruction
avoid it at all costs
Prayer
Closing Prayer: Thank you, O Lord, for your mercy and your grace. I do not deserve them, but I am incredibly grateful for them. Help me to live like I am. Amen.
