Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. — Ephesians 6:24

What do you have that will always be with you? Unless it has something to do with the Lord Jesus Christ, not much. So many of the things we love and strive for are empty, short-lived, shallow, and pointless. Grace, on the other hand, comes, stays, and lives with those who love the Lord Jesus Christ. When he is our Lord and our love, neither time nor death can take away our grace in him.

Prayer

Holy God, I confess that you loved me before I even knew who you were. I admit that I have deviated from your will despite your intense love for me. But Father, I sincerely love you and appreciate that you sent your Son, Jesus. His atonement and your mercy haven’t just given me hope; they’ve also given me the self-assurance to face whatever today brings. Please use the power of your Holy Spirit to infuse my heart with love for you and your Son. May my devotion to you, Father, be as unflinching and unending as your love for me. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
