Grace and Hope

I’ll make a covenant with them that will last forever, a covenant to stick with them no matter what, and work for their good. ~ Jeremiah 32:40a (MSG)

Jesus treated us much better than we deserve. He made us acceptable to God and gave us the hope of eternal life. ~ Titus 3:7 (CEV)

Generous and kind Lord:

THANKS: Because of your kindness I am way better off than I deserve to be. Thank you for sticking with me -- even when I'm drifting from you.

REGRETS: I take your grace for granted. That might be good. But I sense that at times I'm too casual about your generosity.

INTERCESSION: I know that you will continue to work on behalf of all those whom you call to be your people. 
Fill me with hope so that I am not afraid to take the kind of risks that lead to growth in practical righteousness. 

PURPOSE: I'm going to let the hope that grows from your grace chart the path I'm walking today. 

Amen.
