Jesus died for me

Grace and mercy flowing freely from the throne
As I sleep, He sings to me in a gentle tone
He is my Father
The greatest King that I know
And I thank Him for His love

my Father is always here for me, even when i am sleeping.
He is so high up & so holy, yet He loves me so much.

My salvation and my King who deserves my praise
My God Almighty who loves me and did not hide His face
He walked the road
And He carried my cross
He laid His life
And He died to save the lost

He died on the cross and saved me. DIED to save ALL OF US.

He had no beauty or majesty
A man of sorrow and familiar with suffering
God struck His only Son for me
What have I done to deserve love like this?
A son of God, my guilt offering
Nailed to the cross and stripped for all to see
God crushed His son for me
Though no deceit was found in His mouth
This righteous man died on the cross to set me free

He is familiar with my suffering. He knows what I am going through.

couldn't really understand Luke 16:1-12.

Matthew Henry Commentary
Whatever we have, the property of it is God's; we have only the use of it, according to the direction of our great Lord, and for his honour. This steward wasted his lord's goods. And we are all liable to the same charge; we have not made due improvement of what God has trusted us with. The steward cannot deny it; he must make up his accounts, and be gone. This may teach us that death will come, and deprive us of the opportunities we now have. The steward will make friends of his lord's debtors or tenants, by striking off a considerable part of their debt to his lord. The lord referred to in this parable commended not the fraud, but the policy of the steward. In that respect alone is it so noticed. Worldly men, in the choice of their object, are foolish; but in their activity, and perseverance, they are often wiser than believers. The unjust steward is not set before us as an example in cheating his master, or to justify any dishonesty, but to point out the careful ways of worldly men. It would be well if the children of light would learn wisdom from the men of the world, and would as earnestly pursue their better object. The true riches signify spiritual blessings; and if a man spends upon himself, or hoards up what God has trusted to him, as to outward things, what evidence can he have, that he is an heir of God through Christ? The riches of this world are deceitful and uncertain. Let us be convinced that those are truly rich, and very rich, who are rich in faith, and rich toward God, rich in Christ, in the promises; let us then lay up our treasure in heaven, and expect our portion from thence.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and who the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

Dear Lord,
teach me to serve you only, to be devoted to you only for wealth will pass away. Allow me not to be too concerned about money for you will provide and ensure that i have enough. thank you Father.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
