Father, I thank you that you have provided a way for you and I to be reconnected through Jesus. I am overwhelmed by the love you have shown in giving your Son to save my life. You have been extravagant with your grace and continue to be so. Jesus, I am struck by your sacrifice. I cannot fathom what it must have been like for you to stay on the cross, only to take my sin to the lowest depths. Your resurrection is my hope. Thank you doesn't seem like enough, so instead, I surrender my life to your work and will. Spirit, I am grateful everyday for the way you move and prompt me. The transformation you are working in me is unbelievable at times and I know it is not always easy. Thank you for persevering in me and stepping with me at every turn on this journey. Lord, I praise you for your work in, around and through me. To you be the glory! Amen.
Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. I was prompted to read this verse and it was perfect for today, of course. All of Psalm 100 is praise to God. For me today, I am praising God because He was faithful in something He had revealed to me a while ago. Let me explain. Have you ever asked God for His strength? Not just strength, but His strength. This is something that I was prompted to do about a year ago, not to just ask for strength in general, but to specifically request His strength to be given to me. I know it sounds a little like a bit of rhetoric, but keep reading. In requesting God's own strength, I have noticed something tremendous has happened each time. When God bestows His strength within me, it is so much more than just endurance. His strength comes with clarity of mind, lightening of the spirit, and a depth of inner joy that cannot help but make me smile. I feel energized in a way
