Lord, You saw this rebellious lamb stuck in the brambles and thorns of Satan’s lies, unable to free myself of revenge and unforgiveness, a victim of trying to fight my own battle. I so needed a rescue from willfully running away from what I knew You expected from me. I tried, but I couldn’t free myself. My deepest desire, to please You, waned as evil thoughts stole back, bent on convincing me of my “rights.” Didn’t I deserved to justify myself?
In my helpless state, I could hear the wolves of wrong thinking howl, ready to devour me. Deep within, I knew You were my only help, I cried out, and with no condemnation, You came and lovingly tore off the bands that held me. When You put me up on Your shoulders and caried my battered soul, I was freed of that bondage. Safe at last from all that kept peace, love, and joy flowing in my heart.
Unforgiveness and revenge lost their hold, stripped of power by the great love and mercy of my Savior, replaced by His amazing grace. A new supply to grant the same unearned, undeserved favor now raced through my renewed spirit, ready to grant His same gift of grace to any who need to experience His great, unmerited love. Thank you, my faithful Shepherd. Amen
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. Hebrews 12:28
