It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn your statutes. (Psalm 119:71)
Abba, our Great Father, You are the Most High. You are like a good teacher to us, tirelessly teaching and guiding us to obey Your righteous commands. Your teachings are complete and faultless. Your words are enough to fulfill our needs. Despite their benefits, we still transgress from Your commands. Because of Your immeasurable love, You always remind us. You let us experience troubles to open our eyes and see a miserable life away from Your commandments. Through these, our hearts desire to always hold on to Your love and never let go again. We can do this because in all our difficulties, we can see hope if we are with You. Thank You, God, our Father, for You make ways for us to obey Your commandments. Even if we are lost and go astray, Your great love impels us to return to Your House. May You accept our thanksgiving offering in Your name, Christ Jesus, our God and Savior. Amen.
