This morning I was praying through the latest prayer in ‘The Valley of Vision’, a stunning book of rich puritan prayers. As I was praying I stumbled across these words:

Teach me to behold my creator,

His ability to save

His arms outstretched,

His heart big for me

Two things struck me from these words:

1. No one should ever accurse the puritans of being cold-hearted.

2. What a beautiful phrase “his heart big for me”
