If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me. Psalm 66:18-20

Grace is God’s gift to us so that sin no longer has the power to destroy our emotions, our intellect or our relationships. Sin in all its forms brings about a condemnation concerning ourselves and others, therefore our prayers, our desires and our goals in that condition are not listened to by our Lord. The beauty of grace is the freedom to live without fear, without bitterness, without resentment towards ourselves and those around us. This freedom releases the fragrance of grace so that we, as well as those around us experience the wonderful sensations of joy, encouragement and all kinds of blessings. On this new day may all the freedoms of his grace bring to you the joy of praise, the joy of thanksgiving and even the joy of delighting. Let his love overwhelm you in how you see yourself and it will naturally flow through you to everyone around you. This is a very good new day; our Lord loves the sound of your voice. Enjoy!
