MERCIFUL
O Lord you are merciful to me. I am constantly going off course, denying your strength, abusing our relationship and yet you are still merciful to me. Your grace is over abounding and your love is beyond anything that I can think or do. Lord I am precious to you and I am so grateful. Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow.

10/02 1 John 1:9
9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
SIN
We need to clean up the sin we harbor in our life. Stop sinning. Change our ways. Confess our sinful ways to Jesus. Ask Him to forgive us and cleanse us. Walk with Him. Real simple. I choose Jesus or I lose. We cannot hold hands with the Devil and have a Godly life.
10/01 Matthew 6:14-15
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
HARD
Jesus takes a hard line about forgiveness-we give to get. I must look at my life and those people that I don’t get along with and clean up my act. When I do that I find that forgiveness is given to me at the rate that I forgive. Think. Change. Forgive. Be forgiven.
09/30 Ephesians 5:2
Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
LIFE
All of our life is a canvas for the Lord to use us as His emissary. We are to go and tell. Our life is a life of sacrifice of obedience to the Lord Jesus. Take your cares your troubles and your woes to the Lord and he will equip you to meet the needs of those around you. We are the Lord’s servants. We serve Him by serving those around us. Plant your life and care for those around you.
