For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
Hebrews 10:14
Lord Jesus, today I confess I feel anything but perfect. I carry around on my back the weight of all the things that I have done wrong, both seen and unseen. In the forefront of my mind are all the ways that I am anything but perfect, how fall short in my thoughts, words and deeds, how I miss the mark in my relationships with others, and even how I can mess something up despite my best intentions. When I am at my very best, even then I can find, what I call on my good days areas for improvement, and on my worse days, how I need to get my act together.
Yet through Your sacrifice, You have perfected me tomorrow through the Holy Spirit’s sanctifying work today. It is this already but not yet aspect of my salvation that continues to blow my mind and amaze me! Your sovereignty, omniscience, omnipotence, and just overall divine supremacy is incomprehensible. How can I be declared perfect for all time though I am still a work in process? This is far too wonderful for me to understand!
All I can do is thank You for this most glorious and precious gift! Thank You for Your perfect sacrifice that satisfied forever the righteous requirement for sin! Thank You for applying that glorious remedy to me, declaring me holy both now and forever, ushering me into the family of God! Thank You for the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, Who enables me to be transformed daily into who You have purposed me to be! Thank You for Your unfailing, never-ending love for me! For who would do such a thing for a rebel like me? Only You. I praise and worship You, bowing in awe of Your glorious work of salvation in me and all who trust in You! Thank You, Lord Jesus! Amen.
