Today I want to focus on this passage from Galatians 2:20, "It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me."

Helen Keller dedicated one of her books, "To Anne Sullivan, whose love is the story of my life."  How many of us would say that of someone who made the great difference in life for us?  Someone's love is the story of every life that finds itself in the way God intended that it should.  How many might say the same of Jesus Christ!  His love is the story of their lives.  No day passes that they do not give thanks for him who loved them and gave himself for them.  Christ's love is the story of the best we have ever been or done.

Prayer:  Compassionate God, thank you for your unconditional love through the gift of your son, Jesus Christ, who has made all the difference.  Help us today to make a difference by leaving heartprints of love, gentle kindness, and hope.  Touch us, heal us, transform our sadness, our grief, into joy.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
