better than you thought you could be“May our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father, who loved us and in His special favor gave us everlasting comfort and good hope,

comfort your hearts and give you strength in every good thing you say and do…

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Thanking You, Heavenly Father, for Your everlasting comfort and good hope…

My heart cries Abba Father.. I need You.

As I go about my day, wanting to love other’s, and be the best person I can be, how I pray to remember that it is not  by my strength, or by my might…

It’s all by Your grace..

Your love softens my heart and soothes my soul, which in turn brings comfort and joy.

May I be a reflection of such warmth and gentle kindness in I say and all I do..

Forgive me, Father, when I fall short, and bless those who may have been hurt by my words or actions…

Thank You for today…

Thank You for Your healing power, and cleansing grace..

I love You,

In Jesus Name,

Amen,

Live in Love,

Lisa

forgiven “You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away.  Then God made you alive with Christ. 

He forgave all our sins.  He canceled the record that contained the charges against us.  He took it and destroyed it by nailing it to Christ’s cross…”

Colossians 2: 13-14

Dear Heavenly Father, How I thank You for forgiving the guilt of my sin…

How I honor, worship and love You…

Your gentle voice declares me innocent in Your presence…

How humbling and beautiful is that!

Thank You for cutting away the rotting parts of my soul, and making me clean and alive in Your presence…

You cancelled all the charges against me now and forever…

destroying the ugly and creating in me a clean heart…

Your love has changed the course of my life… I am Yours…  caught by Your beauty, and saved by Your grace…

Your love is my refuge

Use my life, Dear Father, to be a light of hope for those who are drowning  in their guilt or shame…
