“I love you, O Lord, my strength."

The appointed Psalm for today is Psalm 18, and it starts with the Psalmist saying: “I love you, O Lord, my strength … I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised.”

How many times do we tell God that we love Him? How many times do we tell those around us, those God has put into our lives, that we love them? On both of these questions, the answer is “not often enough.”

Take some time today to tell God that you love Him, and thank God for all of those people He has placed into your life, all of those people who are a blessing to you.

Let us pray: Loving Father, sometimes we don’t tell You that we love You and appreciate all that You do for us, especially for the gift of Your Son. Send Your Holy Spirit to fill the hearts and minds of all of our loved ones. Amen.
