Today, is Maundy Thursday.
As we gather together at services to commemorate the last supper, I Pray Lord Jesus that:
At GCCC, you'd bless the hands of those who are going to prepare the big dinner. May you be with them whatever they do, and allow them to experience the joy of serving you. I thank you for their passion and giftings, and their heart of service you and others.
Also, Lord, Be there with them. Your presence is what we seek most, and what we need to experience most.
As we are being remembered about your humility, let us not take it or granted, or treat it with this disdain, since You the Great King in all your splendor and authority made yourself NOTHING on this fallen world. But Lord, bring us a level deeper in the understanding of your love for us. Help us to see your passion, and your compassion, that even though we may never fully comprehend, we will be awed by that tip of the iceberg.
Thank You Lord, for Grace.

"Although power can force obedience,
only love can summon a response of love.
It is the only power ultimately capable of conquering the human heart"
