You served mankind in sacrificing Your only Son for our sake - for Lyle’s eternal sake. Father, allow Lyle to recognize that service is sacrifice and You sacrificed all for him long before he even knew.

Let not this day, or days forward pass by that he would not begin to see Your greatness as You reveal to him Your service and sacrifice for him. Amen.............
