The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD.  They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.  Psalm 92:12-15 NIV

What an interesting journey life is.  We can hardly wait to grow up and become an adult.  But along that journey we seem to have some less than steller feelings about what we look like and who we are.  It is in this condition that grace can renew, refresh and give great freedom.  For in the freedom of grace we find a joy and strength that comes from the very life of God, it is called eternal.  No matter what our age is, grace can and does make our life new every morning with the joy of thanksgiving. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, "The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."  How about that description of grace in a man or woman who has been re-born in the grace of Jesus the Christ! On this new day may you enjoy the promise of grace in your life.  You are the expressions, the voice and the attitude of God's love to everyone around you. What you say and do in the grace of our Lord can bring a beautiful delight to everyone you meet and at the same time let you feel brand new.  Enjoy!
