March 16

Our Lord who inhabits the throne,
How humbling to know that You chose us. We bow low this morning with the most joyous gratitude. We thank you that upon that rugged cross, you had us on Your mind. We are honored yet broken. When we contemplate Your cruel death we realize that You died to save us 'from' our sin, but we fall short. Please forgive us O Lord. Make us new our King. We do not want to hurt You. We thank you for setting us free from the bondage of sin and we ask that You help us to walk in that freedom today. Give us 'this' day, our daily bread for we cannot rely on yesterday's grace. Make us instruments of Thy peace we pray, in Christ's most gracious name, Amen.
