Joyful Father,

As You continue to reveal Yourself to me, I am more and more taken aback by yYour love and patience. Your infinite love and infinite patience. Always being there when I finally turn toward you, and never being in a hurry to catch up, nor upset that I made You wait for the infinitesimal love I'm capable of returning. Your exuberance that I even bothered, and your willingness to teach me in fits and starts. So gentle, so understanding of my natural limitations, and of the limitations I impose on myself which keep me from loving You slow the flow of love You're giving me. Joyful Father, please receive my meager efforts. I know they please You, and I just want to give You more. I want to give You back the infinite love You give me. Continue to show Yourself to me, and to teach Yourself to me in my heart and mind.

Joyful Father, I love you. Hold my hands as I learn to walk the path You will for me. Amen.
