And He was saying to them, to you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables, so that while seeing, they may see and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear and not understand, otherwise they might return and be forgiven. Mark 4:11-12 NASB
Jesus, thank You for showing us the immeasurable love You have for mankind, for taking upon Yourself the punishment for our sins as You gave Your life on the cross. Today we relinquish selfishness, greed, asking that You give us a fresh perspective on repentance. Help us to live motivated by faith and not by fear. Holy Spirit, fill us, transform our thinking according to the truth of Your word. Please reveal anything that I need to repent of, so that I can follow You wholeheartedly. Please reveal anything that we must and need to turn away from, so that we follow You wholeheartedly, yes Lord our eyes are on You, the light in the dark. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
