In steadfast love you send out your Word and heal me. (Psalm 107:20 personalized)

I thank you, O God, that you are with me in AFFECTIONATE LOVE.

You are never cold or mechanical. Rather, you love me with feeling and heart.

The greatest affection I can experience is “the affection of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:8).

Day 11

I thank you, O God, that you are with me in FAITHFUL LOVE.

You are loyal and true to your covenant partners. You keep all your words. You stay with me. You never leave me or forsake me.

I praise you that your love is patient. (1 Corinthians 13:4 personalized)

Day 13

I thank you, O God, that you are with me in GENTLE LOVE.

You are not rough, abusive, or oppressive with my soul.

I praise you, O Lord, that I can come to you when I labor and am heavy laden, and you give me rest. I take your yoke upon me, to learn from you, for you are gentle and lowly in heart, and in you my soul finds rest. For your yoke is easy, and your burden is light. (Matthew 11:28–30 personalized)

You zealously protect our relationship from all competitors.

Because you are jealous for my love and devotion, I tear down every idol and altar to false gods in my soul. (Exodus 34:13–14 personalized)

Jeremiah 9:23–24: “Thus says the LORD: ‘Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.’” (ESV)
