Devotional Reflection
Grace is all about before and after. "I was lost, but now I'm found. I was blind, but now I see." If we could only fully understand what we sing so easily, our lives would be filled with more grace, and the people who serve God in our churches would be more sure of themselves.
Prayer
By your grace, Lord God Almighty, I am aware that I am standing before you today, welcomed into your presence, and accepted as a beloved child. I appreciate your saving me from all the darkness's snares and bringing me into your light. Help my heart and feet follow your path and spread your light by guiding them. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
