Journey into Joy
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.—Psalm 16:11 (NIV)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.—1 John 1:9 (NIV)
Jesus is always at work in our lives but because we are human and have free will, of course there are days, months, or even possibly years that we would like to edit or maybe even erase completely. Fortunately, God’s grace does exactly that. He allows us to forgive ourselves, to view our past with compassion and understanding and to be grateful for every day we have lived.
Lord, Jesus, help me to release the fear of taking responsibility for my past actions—guide me to wholly and completely accept the grace of Your forgiveness.
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.—Psalm 16:11 (NIV)
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?—Matthew 6:27 (NIV)
I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.—Genesis 9:13 (NIV)
