Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer this line from Charles H. Spurgeon.

“A tender heart is the best defense against sin, and the best preparation for heaven.”

Ephesians 4:32
New American Standard Bible 1995

³² Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises and worships You. 

Bless You, for replacing our hearts of stone with soft and loving hearts that pant after You. Help us to love as You do and to do so with overwhelming joy. You are our defense, our shield, and our hope against all evil and sin. You alone are holy and You alone are worthy of praise. Remind us each time we are slow or unwilling to forgive all You have done for us and tenderize our hearts with fresh mercy and grace until we are giddy with thoughts of You.

Father, we thank You that You have heard us. Amen in Jesus’ name and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
