Day 29 "You Are Redeemed"
Good Morning Beauties!
“ Hallelujah! I want to express publicly before his people my heartfelt thanks to God for his mighty miracles. All who are thankful should ponder them with me. For his miracles demonstrate his honor, majesty, and eternal goodness. Who can forget the wonders he performs—deeds of mercy and of grace?” Psalm 111:1-4 (TLB)
While reflecting on the past few days lyrics, I approached the throne today with timidity and a feeling of unworthiness. Especially after watching the heartbreaking video of Jesus shedding his blood for me yesterday. The images still haunt me today.
The Holy Spirit spoke sweetly, “You feel unworthy because you are. That’s the point. No one is worthy except God. No one deserves salvation, that’s why it’s a gift found through grace by faith.” With that message came thought of God’s great mercy. I think it starts there.
God’s mercy is astounding! It allows him to spare me from the punishment I rightly deserve. Think about this truth with me - mercy stops the punishment and grace allows for redemption. Do you see it? Selah.
How are you processing the truths we’ve pondered this week? Are you able to grasp the magnitude of Jesus’ gift of salvation for you? For the world? What emotions are you feeling today? Is the Holy Spirit trying to reveal a lie you’ve been believing? Selah.
When we know the truth about God’s mercy and grace and all that Jesus paid for us, we can’t help but be filled with his light and love. That’s our gift from him, and we are to share it with the world. Give it away freely today - let it flow!
I think the only appropriate response is praise! Join me in raising our voices and hands in total adoration of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
