"...that I may not cause pain" ~I Chron 4:10~

Jabez had spent his life in the shadow of "pain", and he begged God to keep His hand on him, keep him from evil, that he would no longer cause pain. My sins bring pain to the heart of God. He loves me so much, it was with great pain He sent Jesus to give His life for me. Lord, I want to be an honorable person like Jabez. Keep Your hand on me, keep me from evil, that I would never bring You pain....Let my existence be daily companionship You God, and my testimony a source of joy to Your heart. Let my life reflect Your image as You created me to do.
