“But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins” (2 Peter 1:9).

Too many seem to operate under the false idea of thinking their own way is the right way.  The truth is that we are all sinners in need of salvation.  We all need what only the Lord can give.  Come then into the salvation which is yours in Christ and be led by the Holy Spirit in the way of everlasting life.  Know that in the Lord there is hope and the eternal future which is yours because Christ has made repentance and forgiveness possible for the cleansing of all sin.

Lord, let me not forget the benefits of Your goodness and grace.  Guide me according to Your goodness to live into the life You give by grace.  Clear my sight so that I may see more clearly each day and know the truth of eternity.  Bring me into the love You have for us all and teach me how to live in that love now and forever.  Thank You for providing all that is needed now and forever.

Lord Jesus, You paid the price once for all so that we who are in sin might come to live as if we had never sinned.  Guide me, O Lord, in the way of everlasting life in order that I may walk humbly in the grace You give me.  Help me to step back so that I may see things as they are.  Guide me always in the upward path of salvation and let me never forget that by Your stripes I have been healed.  Amen.
