Dear God,
I again offer my praises to the one and only true God, Who keeps me body and soul, in the sunshine of Jesus. Another bright sunny almost spring day dawns, warming all my senses and soon my skin. This is how Jesus is to my inner person warming and giving rest, as His gift; for He is warmth and rest.
1 Peter 2:23 – 25, Jesus our gentle Saviour did not fight with or say anything back to His accusers as He suffered at their mouth and hands. Nor did He stoop to threatening future judgement, “but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.” As Jesus prayed daily to His Father, for the Holy Spirit, so do I pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit, as I prepare my heart, having asked for forgiveness. Then the Holy Spirit can change my mind and spirit, as needed to become more Christlike and give Your purpose to my life and future; causing me to trust fully in Your righteous judgement. While I have learned I cannot trust myself. I know I can trust myself and future absolutely to Jesus, My Saviour. 1 Peter 2: 24 “Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by those stripes you were healed.” I am so reassured and grateful for this answer to my sin problem and that through Jesus, I can live in righteousness, healed by His persecution and unjust death, how grossly unfair; yet beautiful is that!
I will not now go around as one lost, without purpose, off on wrong paths, lost and astray, because I have Jesus as my loving Shepard, who keeps His sheep tenderly. 1 Peter 2: 25 “For you were like sheep going astray, but now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”
Safe in Your care, at last!
Again praises to Jesus, the love of my soul.
Amen
