The Joy of Living
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.—Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
“Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”—Acts 2:36 NIV
In this verse, Peter proclaimed that Jesus is the Messiah and redeemed himself for betraying Jesus on the night of His trial. This powerful lesson of redemption remains true today for all of us. Even if you have strayed from a life of faith, or made a bad decision, your return to Him will be welcomed. God will forgive you.
Because of You, my Heavenly Father, my sins are forgiven and new mercies fall like manna from heaven.
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.—Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.—Matthew 5:4–5 (NLT)
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”—Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT)
