“When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.” Matthew 9:8

Dear Jesus, When you proved you had authority to forgive sins by telling the paralyzed man to get up and walk away, you blew everybody’s mind. But some of them were not just amazed, rather they were filled with faith and praise. I believe you’re a real human being and really God at the same time and that you brought complete forgiveness for my checkered life into humanity. I believe you have shared it with me just as you shared it with that man. I believe I am forgiven! It gives me peace and power to live a full life today. Thank you for helping us poor sinners instead of condemning us. I will strive to be like you today and will forgive people as I help them. Amen.

Grace is better than air, water and food. It nourishes the soul like nothing else can.
