We are >therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal >through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. >--2 Corinthians 5:19-20 New International Version >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... The price has been paid. The ransom >is provided. God's judgment was averted, not because of anything we >did to appease him, but by his own sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. >If God has gone to such great lengths to reconcile us to himself and >adopt us into his family, how can we refuse? We must not! Father >God, we offer you our hearts! >MY PRAYER... O Gracious God, I know my sin has broken your heart and >offended your holiness. Words, therefore, cannot communicate my >thankfulness to you. You were hurt by my sin and yet provided a >sacrifice to redeem me from it and reconcile me to you. I praise you >for your grace, thank you for your love, and promise to share your >mercy. Through Jesus my sacrifice I pray. Amen. >----------- >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/hjsswdy_jawdcwdw.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/tekkxjv_jawdcwdw.html>http://www.zondervan.com >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > > > >* Copyright 2006 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers.
