The Daily Breath of God Wednesday, July 26 2023
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. Luke 23:34 NLT
Have ever wondered what the love of God looks like? Just read these words. Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. This love is given by God’s grace and it is not religious at all, it is life and it is called eternal, holy and joy. Jesus had been falsely accused, punched in the face, spit upon, lashed, carried his cross to the point of overwhelming fatigue, nailed to a cross and crowned with thorns. It was in that condition that he said - "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Grace gives the love of God to the souls of men and women because that is what it is. There was and is no condemnation in the grace that is in Jesus the Christ. Today, enjoy that life of his grace that allows you to bless, you to encourage and for you to forgive in such a way that the love of our Lord is seen and heard through your life. You will be so renewed that you will hardly be able to contain it and Lord willing you won’t contain it. It will burst for in praise and this will be a day to remember. Enjoy! |
