We should start each day with Good News. We all need encouragement to look at the bright side of life, so I want to share a couple of favorite Scriptures of mine.
“God saved us and chose us
to be his holy people.
We did nothing
to deserve this,
but God planned it
because he is so kind.
Even before time began
God planned for Christ Jesus
to show kindness to us.
10 Now Christ Jesus has come
to offer us God’s gift
of undeserved grace.
Christ our Savior defeated death
and brought us
the good news.
It shines like a light
and offers life
that never ends.” II Timothy 1:9-10 CEV
God’s plan has always been to show us kindness and grace!
“9 The Lord won’t always be angry
and point out our sins;
10 he doesn’t punish us
as our sins deserve.
11 How great is God’s love for all
who worship him?
Greater than the distance
between heaven and earth!
12 How far has the Lord taken
our sins from us?
Farther than the distance
from east to west!
13 Just as parents are kind
to their children,
the Lord is kind
to all who worship him,
14 because he knows
we are made of dust.
15 We humans are like grass
or wild flowers
that quickly bloom.
16 But a scorching wind blows,
and they quickly wither
to be forever forgotten.
17 The Lord is always kind
to those who worship him,
and he keeps his promises
to their descendants” Psalm 103:9-17 CEV
Our Father is a kind promise keeper, who forgets our sins and loves us unconditionally!
As an old cowboy preacher friend used to say, “Enough said. That will preach.”
Have a happy Sunday!
