16 cain and abel: the first murder

Father God let our focus remain firmly placed on You. You are the center and all things are in accordance with Your will. Cain envied his brother because he didn't seek You first. Because Cain fell short he began to hate his brother. I tend to fall for a similar trap. I see how far I fall short and I hate myself. I look at myself and think that I am not capable of doing any good. I am right. Alone I cannot do anything of lasting value. But I am wrong to feel alone. I am wrong to focus on me. You have promised to complete the work You have started in me. You are ever patient, ever faithful, abounding in love, mercy, and grace. You created every star in the sky and every molecule in the universe. You have the power to make what You will of anything, even me. Lord help me keep my focus on You that the world would not be too loud for me to hear You or too bright for me to see You. You rescued me from the pit of despair and redeemed me by the flowing of Your blood. Not by accident. Not by mistake. It is long time I started living on purpose. Lord help me to rejoice in all my days that I have am invited to live my life with You.

for You paid the price
