Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.
John 8:34-35
Lord Jesus, today my heart rejoices and finds comfort in the fact that I am no longer a slave but now am a child of the Father. Through Your precious sacrifice I now, through grace, I have been forgiven of all my sins, cleaned up, and have been given access to the Father. Your love for me has set me free. Words will never be able to express the glorious wonder and the awe-inspiring joy that I have because of this eternal act! What blows my mind about it is that on account of what You have done, as a child of God I will remain in the house forever!
Your grace is so sweet! Through it You have broken the yoke of my bondage to sin, enabling me to no longer practice it. Yes, I occasionally fall. When I do, by Your grace I am shown the error of my ways, and am compelled to rush to the foot of the cross for forgiveness, cleansing, and restoration! Oh how sweet! I praise You because I have everything I need for life and godliness by Your grace!
Today my ask is that You would help me to walk in the newness of life, released from the shackles of sin and freed by the wonders of Your grace. Help me to enjoy the peace that comes from being fully surrendered to You. Help me to make this day a day of worship and gratitude for Your grace! Amen!
