No Dark Corners

Scripture
2 Thessalonians 3:5  May the LORD direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

Observation
This is a prayer that the LORD through His Holy Spirit will lead and guide our hearts into learning to understand and express God's unconditional and abounding love as we walk with Him day by day. The steadfast, unwavering perseverance of Christ leading us as we love God and love people.  

Application
God's love is multifaceted like a gem; redeeming, reassuring, overwhelming, overflowing, overcoming, and amazing.  God is my strength and it is He who establishes and grounds me in His love so I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  When there is no love in my heart, or at least not enough love, then God will and can love through me when I trust in Him.

Prayer
Open my heart LORD.  Do a work in every dark corner - bring the light of Your love so that this heart is yielded and submitted to You for direction, instruction, and correction.  Cleanse my heart so that Your love will flow through me.  May Your Holy Spirit have full access to this heart that I gave to You - that You purchased through the precious blood of Your Son Jesus Christ.  May Your will and purposes be lived out in this life I have offered You.  May I become all You have created me to be for Your glory.  

Luke 11:36 If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight is shining on you.”
