“Riches take wings, comforts vanish, hope withers away, but love stays with us. Love is God.” ~ Lew Wallace
Prayer for the Week
Dear God, I ask You to open my heart to receive Your perfect love. Free me from earthly hurts and wounds that keep me from drawing close to you. I give thanks for the help I receive today and every day. I come to You seeking Your unconditional love in my life. Soften my heart and teach me to believe and receive Your tender love. Amen
