Father, I am grateful for a new day and a fresh start. Oh, where would I be if not for Your great love and long-suffering. I fall into Your arms of grace this morning not because I deserve it but only because You love me.

Ephesians 4:17-32

Lord, how do you put up with us? We cast aside the sin in our lives and even though we know better, even though we can hear Your warnings – we still can be guilty of picking it up once again, only to realize that it’s just as empty as it ever was. As Paul says in Romans 7:15-20, we know what we should do and we want to do it but end up doing what we shouldn’t do – it’s crazy! Again, my opening thoughts. Thanking You for Your love doesn’t seem sufficient! But I don’t know how to say it any stronger! The best way to thank You is to live my life for You! Help me to overcome my weaknesses – and this passage (Ephesians 4:17-32) points out several! I know You are helping me. I hear Your voice. Help me, please, to heed it! To embrace it! I am weak – you are strong! I can find VICTORY in You alone!
