Good morning, Jesus.
Thank you, Lord, for reconciling us back to you when we came to you in repentance. Your grace destroyed the power of the enemy of our souls, the devil. You gave us a new lease in life with you, and in turn, trusted us with your message of reconciliation back to you through Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17–19). However, you never meant for us to keep this to reconciliation to ourselves. Give us a holy boldness, along with a humble attitude, to share this message of hope and a new life with someone who has lost hope or life’s stuff trampled their dreams. We all were estranged from you at one time to some degree or other by our sins, yet in your mercy, you made a way to reconcile your greatest creation, mankind, back to you through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, you only son. All who trust that Jesus took their sins are declared righteous in your eyes. May joy overflow in our hearts and spill on to others the more we realize the eternal impact of our reconciliation with you, Lord God. According to the prophet Joel, what the enemy destroyed, God’s grace restores (Joel 2:25).
Forgive our sins, heal our nation. Start a spiritual renewal in each of us.
Thank you for reconciling us back to you, Lord God. Amen.
