Through him you have blessed the world. Through thatrelationship you have blessed me. Thank you, Lord, that through ityou will bring even more blessings, now and for ever.Thank you that Abraham's relationship to you was not something heearned; it came because "Abraham believed God, and it was creditedto him as righteousness."To one who works, wages are not a gift but payment due. We thankyou that our relationship is not that of a hired hand. We do notwork for wages. We work for you out of a faith and a love that youfired in our hearts. We trust you as the one who justifies theungodly and who credits our faith as righteousness.In the name of Jesus. Amen.
