May our Father continually shower you with every spiritual blessing and with that mix of material blessings perfectly suited to your needs and your faith and your ministry. Each time you encounter a soul in need of healing, may you minister to them with confidence and humility.
May your heart be tuned to only hear the voice of the Living God. May no distraction ever drown out His words. May no person or thing ever cloud your vision of Him.
May He remind you … over and over again … that you are His child … and that you were created to live in relationship with Him. May the relationship that develops between the two of you be peaceful … harmonious … and unshakable. May you thrive in His steadfast love.

May Jesus be your inspiration … your greatest ideas … your holiest thoughts. May He continually increase … in you.
May you find Him in every moment … every smile … every heartbeat of today, and may He find you close by His side … laughing … listening … lost in His love.
May He smile as He rejoices in the morning … the moment … that the first thought of you dawned in His heart.

As Christ increases in you, may your love for Him and those He has created multiply greatly. May that love overflow as a blessing to everyone you meet, and may it return to you swiftly and in abundance.
May many faithful, trustworthy friends walk the red carpet to your heart’s door, and may you find in them the rich gifts of compassionate spirits … encouraging conversation … and fervent prayers. May you see in them true reflections of the ever-creating, ever-increasing Christ.

May your days on this earth be filled with many brothers …
… wise men sent by our Father to help you shoulder the load … to strengthen your faith … to mentor … to guide … to nurture your growing soul.
… equals sent to challenge you in your spiritual walk … to help you multiply your talents … to encourage your heart and refresh your spirit when the world would overwhelm you.
… youths to look up to you in admiration … to feed your inner hero … to remind you of your incredible value … and importance … and worth in this world and in the world to come.
May you find that the necessary load that comes along with these friendships … never weighs you down. May they not be heavy … may they be your brothers.
May Jesus be your greatest Friend … your truest Brother. May He never be a burden for you to bear.

May thoughts of Heaven fill your heart.
May the golden streets inspire you to help someone along a rocky, difficult road that stretches before them.
May thoughts of Michael and Gabriel motivate you to be an angel to a soul struggling desperately with demons.
May the hope of an endless day with Jesus lead you to illuminate the path of a friend encircled by an endless night.
May the abundance of the Tree of Life encourage you to provide for those in need of food, clothing and shelter.
May the promise of our Father’s finger tenderly wiping away your tears stir you to bring comfort to those who weep.
May the welcoming King on His throne move you to raise your scepter when those who have wronged you enter your presence and request your grace.
May joyous worship break out in your heart and roll from your lips when you are counted worthy to suffer for the name of Christ.
May our Father’s kingdom come … in you.
May His will be done on earth this day because you understand that getting Heaven into you is more important than getting you into Heaven.

May the reign of Jesus in your heart be as refreshing … as invigorating … as cleansing … and much more so … than the cool later rains of autumn after a long, hot summer.
May His words be your words … may His love be your love … may His life be your life.
May you imitate Him in holiness and humility.
May He smile upon you and call you friend.

May you fall in love with our Father … just the way He is. No stipulations … no buts … no conditions. May you see beyond all of your preconceived ideas … your wishes … your desires … of what you might imagine Him to be.
May the very Truth that He is emerge in your vision … unavoidable … crystal clear. May you understand as you have never understood before.
May everything that is you give way to everything that is Him. May you find yourself immersed in His steadfast love … His just discipline … His amazing grace … His obsession with all things holy … His fixation on all things righteous.
May His will be your one desire … may He be your One Thing.
May you see Him everywhere you go, and may the trivia you have gathered of Him become utterly lost in warm … intimate … holy … friendship … Teacher and disciple … sinner and Savior … Father and child. And may you be assured over and over again that of everything you know of Him … He is immeasurably more.
May your discovery of the mystery that is our God be an incredible journey from here to eternity. May you be accepted and fully forgiven through the risen, living Jesus.

May the words of the Holy Spirit of Christ flow through you like mighty waters. May He be your Source … your Unending Supply. May the fullness of His wise counsel come to you clearly and unobstructed.
May He fill your hours and your minutes with rich experiences and easily-communicated illustrations … word pictures and parables … a healthy variety of spiritual foods to refresh and sustain the broken hearts and wounded souls of many weary pilgrims.
May your daily exchanges … all of your verbal expressions … every sentence … each carefully chosen word … be founded on truth and wrapped in a mantle of love. May you listen intently at the Master’s feet, and may you share your rich knowledge with great compassion … courage … and joy.
May you know when to dismiss the crowds and steal away to a quiet place … to be still and know that He is God … that He is your God … that He loves you deeply … and that He delights in each moment spent alone with you. In those times, may He refresh you so that the words of the Holy Spirit of Christ may flow through you like mighty waters.

May our Father bless you as you share the greatest story of all. May your role in that story and your passionate delivery of its details be rich … warm … sincere.
May your intimate relationship with Jesus catch someone by surprise … kindle a rich, golden glow in their dimly lit heart … open their eyes to spiritual possibilities that have seemed at best distant and unattainable.
May you bring warmth to a cold and weary world. May you light someone’s darkness.
May those who listen find themselves relaxed … relieved … filled with hope. May their souls be fully engaged … their ears hungry to hear more … their hearts eager to be introduced to the Son of Man … the Son of God … the forgiving Jesus … full of grace.
May they find themselves repeating every word and imitating every move of the One Who speaks through you. May you bring them into the healing presence of Jesus, and may He write His story on the pages of their hearts.
