“Do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” Proverbs 21:3

“The Righteous One takes note of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.” Proverbs 21:12

“Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.” Proverbs 21:21

God grant us such faith and love for you that our hearts and lives overflow with love and mercy and justice for the last, the least and the lost. You have loved us with an unquenchable love. You have shown us such great mercy in that you have not treated us as our sins deserved, nor repaid us for what we have done against you. You have separated our sins from us as far as the east is from the west. You have shown such goodness to us. Grant us such faith and joy in you and your mercy for us that our lives overflow with the same love toward others. Amen.

True pursuit takes place in the heart; our lives overflow from a heart of faith.
