Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Dieu nous veut comme ses saints enfants. C'était son plan pour nous avant même que le monde ne commence. Dieu a payé le prix énorme de notre adoption dans sa famille - le sacrifice de son Fils Jésus. Le motif de Dieu en faisant cela ? Son désir et sa joie de nous aimer.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God wanted us to be His children. That was his plan for us even before the world began. While we cannot be holy and blameless on our own strength alone, God paid the huge price of our adoption into his family through the sacrifice of his Son, our older brother, Jesus. Because of our faith in Jesus and God's grace, the Father cleansed us from our sins and brought us into His family as his sons and daughters. God's motive in doing this? His desire and delight in loving us as his children. Our response? Seek to live holy lives that honor our Father by living his values in our broken world.
Ma Prière...
Père bien-aimé et Dieu Saint, mes mots ne peuvent exprimer de manière adéquate mes remerciements pour ton amour et ta grâce. Je suis honoré d'être l'un de tes enfants adoptés et je veux t'apporter de la joie dans ma façon de vivre. Pardonne-moi pour les fois où je t'ai déçu ou n'ai pas été à la hauteur de ce que tu désires de moi. Je veux que ma vie soit pour toi une sainte action de grâce pour ta grâce. Au nom de Jésus je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
Loving Father and Holy God, my words cannot adequately express all of my appreciation for your love and grace. I am honored to be one of your adopted children and want to bring you joy in the way I live. Please forgive me for the times I have disappointed you or not lived up to what you desire of me. Even in those times, your love and grace have brought me back to you, forgiven me, and cleansed me. I want my life to be a holy thanksgiving to you for your love, mercy, and grace. I pray in Jesus' name for the Holy Spirit to help make this so in my thoughts, words, and deeds. Amen.
