He continually picks us up, dusts us off, and reminds us that we are precious because we are His. May we all learn to live in the freedom of this truth.

We can rationalize and say we're "good" all we want, but the fact is even our feeble attempts are like filthy rags compared to our holy God. I live this line, "Jesus came from sinners for sinners." What an amazing truth. Thank you, friend.

He is the light on our darkness, the love on the days we feel unloved, and the soothing grace when we have made the same mistake again. We are blessed by this beautiful Savior and it is because of Him we have been given the greatest gift on Christmas. A present that when unwrapped is true presence. <br /><br />Merry Christmas dear friend!

We prefer to gloss over them for that "I'm a good person" mentality. Those prisoners you describe are one step ahead of us in recognizing their own sin.<br /><br />I forget it so easily. I try to spend a bit of time every couple of days or so really focusing on repentance, asking God to examine my heart. But I FORGET sometimes! I need his salvation so much!

When life is going good, I tend to forget my need and relationship with my Savior, but oh how I know it when I go through seasons of anxiety or sadness. Forgive me for my sins, help me draw near to my Savior and know he is always with me! Merry Christmas!

Our ladies group has focused on a family in which the mother is just being released from jail this month, providing gifts, food for a nice dinner, etc. We're trusting for the opportunity to introduce Christ to this little family so that He can make a real difference in their lives, particularly for the little four year old daughter. This is a real "outside the comfort zone" thing for me, because I've never had experience with addiction and all the related issues, but am trusting God to overcome my chicken-hearted nature. Thanks for your reminder that I'm just one sinner showing another sinner the way to get forgiven!Michele Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814119096056835884noreply@blogger.com
