Heavenly Father, thank you for being the One who pursues our hearts and gives us the greatest invitation. I ask, Lord, that I would be a follower who lives my life being filled by your joy, living from a place of peace. Help me steward these gifts to others as they encounter me. Make me available to those hurting and desiring to be filled with the good gifts you offer. Draw me nearer to you, in Jesus' name, amen.
