Day 117

Father, 

We praise You for Your heart for restoration and redemption. You’re not distant or removed from us, You’re not waiting to punish us, You’re actively engaged in the plan You created to restore and redeem us! Jesus, we praise You for being the One who walked out that plan for redemption—all the way to the grave. We praise You that the story doesn’t end there—You rose from the dead and send Your Spirit to dwell in us as a sign of our adoption! You made us AND bought us back.  

Have mercy on me, a sinner. We have failed at every promise we’ve ever made You, God. We are not the promise maker in this relationship. You are. We are not the faithful ones. You are. We repent of our sin and idolatry. We repent of our sins and turn to You. Make our hearts clean. No one else can.

Would You help us see Your mercy and grace to us today? It wasn’t a one time event. It happens CONSTANTLY. Give us eyes to see our failures and sins, but don’t let our vision stop short of seeing the beauty of YOU showing up in our failures and sin to redeem us despite all that, to pour out kindness on us, to never leave us. May we be in AWE of how well You love us, despite ourselves.

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
