Heartlight Daily Devotional Thursday, April 13, 2006 All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. --Romans 3:23-24 New International Version THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... "I blew it!" Come to think of it, we've all blown it! We don't measure up. We're not divine. We might be decent, but decent won't do. Only the divine, the truly righteous, make it past the grave in glory. Thank God that grace is freely given and the price for our sin was paid by Jesus. While I "blew it" he renewed it! MY PRAYER... Kind and Loving Father, thank you for being so generous with your grace. May I be as passionate for your righteousness as you were in redeeming me from my sin. Through Jesus I ask this. Amen. ----------- Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: <http://www.crosswalkmail.com/gdzzjdd_kjvixk.html>http://www.heartlight.org ----------- The NIV Daily Verse is provided by <http://www.crosswalkmail.com/lgffwso_kjvixk.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.
