Father in heaven, I confess the mystery of Your ways. I do not understand Your long-term agenda, nor can I fathom the hidden purposes You have in the pain of the people You created. Yet I do know that I am a sinner, judged in many different ways for my sin. But I thank You that Jesus died to remove the curse, to free me from Your righteous anger about my rebellion. So in this moment, I receive Jesus as my sinbearer, as the One who died in my place. I affirm this promise for my self: "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God" (John 1:12-13).
Thank you for receiving me, for I pray in Jesus' name, Amen. |
