My God, Thank You For Drawing Yourself Near Me
October 9 Scripture Meditations Based on Luke 24
Key Verse – Luke 24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR DRAWING YOURSELF NEAR ME
Thank You for drawing Yourself near me, pardoning my confessed guiltiness
Indeed sanctifying me with Your salvation-righteousness
For my soul to strive for holiness’ peacefulness
In consciously pleasing You through faith of good works’ thoroughness.
Thank You for drawing Yourself near me, humbling my arrogance
Indeed abasing me with Your redemption-deliverance
For my heart to subdue vanity’s extravagance
In calmly submitting to You through meekness’ sustenance.
Thank You for drawing Yourself near me, correcting my flawed faculty
Indeed disciplining me with Your authoritative immutability
For my diligence to overcome quality’s mediocrity
In consistently trusting You through willing sacrifices’ sincerity.
Thank You for drawing Yourself near me, subduing my frustration
Indeed encouraging me with Your gladness-jubilation
For my faith to vanquish failures’ exhaustion
In ceaselessly seeking You through genuine servanthood’s dedication.
Thank You for drawing Yourself near me, brightening up my worship
Indeed meeting me with Your assurance-friendship
For my prayer life to delight in Your offered relationship
In closely enjoying with You Your fellowship along spirited worship.
Thank You for drawing Yourself near me, propelling my determined labouring
Indeed ministering unto me with Your presence-nurturing
For my efforts to bear fruits of life-building’s rearing
In continuously honouring You through faithful character’s gearing.
Thank You for drawing Yourself near me, upholding my serene victory
Indeed propping me with Your sanctification against transgression-misery
For my good success to reflect Scripture-favor’s glory
In cheerfully prioritizing You through obedient submission’s story.
