And Jesus answered and said "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brother or sister or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time--"
Dear Holy Father the heavens declare Your glory, and the firmament shows Your handiwork. I celebrate Your greatness today. I celebrate the purity of Your Word that gives life. All creation reveals Your glory especially those who have forsaken all else to follow You Lord. You are perfect, pure, sure, right, clean and true who wouldn't want to know You more? The value of who You are cannot compare with any other desirable thing even gold. Jesus, You provide the key to wisdom, joy and most importantly, eternal life. All that said it still can be so challenging to leave our houses, family and lands for Your sake and the Gospel. I admire Your devoted children, the missionaries around the world who are fearless and oh so bold in faith. Their passionate desire to tell all people even in the darkest remote places "Jesus is alive!" Father, I ask that You bless each one as they need and also extra blessings for their faithfulness. Father, keep safe those who are enduring heavy persecution, hide them in the secret place. May they know You are in their midst and quieting them with Your love as they hear You sing over them in the night. Send Your Holy Spirit to guide, strength and comfort them now and always. Bless them with a double portion of courage to speak truth to set the captives free. May all glory and honor be Yours Jesus forever and ever, Amen.
