Lord, when we experience Your love and forgiveness, how Your grace washes away our sins and takes our shame, we are, without a doubt, changed. We can never be the same. As the Scriptures declare, Your love “compels us” to share this Good News with those in our world. No longer do we look at people the way we used to. How quickly we judged on external appearances. We dismissed some as big-time losers, insignificant, criticizing their poor life choices, all the while placing ourselves as superior to hide our insecurities. But Your love changed all that. By Your grace, we see people differently now. We see them as precious souls You gave Your life for. On the cross, You took the punishment for their sins just like You did for mine. You conquered spiritual death for them as You did for me. Then on Easter Sunday, Your resurrection obtained eternal life for them as You obtained eternal life for me. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:14–17).
Lord, may I always see others through Your eyes. Keep me from seeing them any other way.
Without a doubt, Your love and grace changes us, Lord. Thank You. Amen
THANKFUL
