Bible Verse Reflection
If we could remember a song line — “I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see.” — that is the story of God’s grace. If we could only fully grasp what we so easily sing then life would be filled with more grace and our churches with more confident servants of God.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, by Your grace and unfailing love, I realized that I have been received into Your presence, and was welcomed as a beloved child. Thank you for saving me from the dark corners and bringing me to the light.
Help me to guide my heart and feet so that they follow Your way and show forth Your light. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
