Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “antipodes.” I think one of the most reassuring parts of
our realationship with God is that he allows us to remove sin from out lives by
trusting in his son, without anything more than having a relationship with him.
I remember as a young Christian in high school wanting to know more about this
unbelievable grace that God wanted to extend, especially to someone like me.
But that's exactly what we are told in the Bible that God takes the sin of
those who are guilty and removes those inequities through the blood of Jesus.
“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is
his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so
far has he removed our transgressions from us.” ~Ps. 103:11-12
My question is: what comes to mind when you think of the way
that God has extended grace in your life? I think that early on in my
relationship of Jesus, I never really thought about what it meant to live in
his all-encompassing and endless grace. However, as I have moved through the
years, I realize that I need to view both myself and others with more grace and
acceptance. My prayer is that you allow God to change your heart today to move
them closer in that kind of deep relationship, knowing that the sin in your life
and the grace of God are antipodes, as far apart as one could imagine.
Praying for you,
MO
