Thanks for Being You!
When I served as my mom's live-in caregiver at a cancer center, I got to know Lori, another caregiver who lived down the hallway from us with her husband, Frank. I would chat, laugh, vent, cry, and pray with Lori in the shared living areas. We enjoyed supporting each other as we cared for our loved ones.
One day, I missed the free shuttle that took residents to buy groceries. Lori offered to drive me to the store later that evening. With grateful tears, I accepted her offer. " Thanks for being you, " I said, I truly appreciated her as a friend.
Psalm 100 demonstrates an appreciation of God for who He is, not simply for all He does. The psalmist invites " all the earth" to worship the Lord with gladness," being confident in knowing " the Lord is God." Our Maker invites us into His presence to " give thanks to him and praise his name". Yes, the Lord remains worthy of our ongoing thankfulness because He " is good," His " love endures forever," and His " faithfulness continues through all generations."
God will always be the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and our intimately loving Father. He deserves our genuine joy-filled gratitude.
Lord, thanks for being You!
Who can you share God's love with today?
