“When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. The word of the Lord spread through the whole region.” Acts 13:48-49

Lord God, Dear Savior Jesus, You are good to me beyond measure. You are gracious to me and I don’t deserve it. You keep bringing to my heart and mind the good news of sins forgiven and a spotless record in your sight. I too quickly forget these precious truths and carry the guilt of my sins on my shoulders. I too quickly forget about the perfect record I already possess and pursue a record of my own making. I too quickly forget this simple message. Help me to know in the depths of my heart and throughout every moment of this day that I am free from sin and I have fully been made right with you. Let this truth remove the weight of guilt from my heart and the pressure to perform from my life. Set me free from sin and guilt so that I might run in the path of your commands. You, Lord have set my heart free! Amen.

Your Savior, dear brother and sisters of Jesus, has removed the weight and the guilt of your sin. Every spot of sin has been removed from your heart and life. You have been given a perfect record and a resume that stands out in God’s presence. It is given to you as a gift! The weight of your sin and guilt is gone. You are fully embraced as God’s own.
