"For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
Jesus accomplished this on the cross. Every sin committed, past, present, and future, was placed on Him. Now all the merits of Jesus can be yours. He wants to fill your empty hand with His virtues…
When you come before God in prayer and acknowledge these truths, He looks at your heart. He sees your desire to trust Him, to please Him, to obey Him. He says to you, “My precious child, you don’t have to pay for your sins. My Son, Jesus, has already done that for you…
If you will stay close to Me, and journey by My side, you will begin to experience a transformation that brings joy and freedom. I’ve been waiting to pour My gifts into your soul. Beloved child of Mine, remain confident in Me. I am your loving Father. Crawl into My lap. Trust Me. Love Me. I will take care of everything.”1
Today's Challenge:
Create a symbolic act of surrender, such as writing down your burdens on paper and then burning or tearing them, as a visual representation of laying them down at Jesus’ feet.
