My sin is real.

My death is real.

Christ took my sins and the sins of everyone into His own suffering.

Christ took my death and the death of everyone upon Himself.

 

The pain, suffering, and agony of this moment was beyond all but God's understanding and realization.

 

My sufferings from sins and my fears of death bring me to cry out to God to be saved by mercy, compassion, grace, and goodness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

I am instantly forgiven and given a new life, pure, holy, and like Christ in all ways.

 

I am "born  again."

I am taken out of death into life;

Out of sin into righteousness;

Out of corruption into holiness.

 

Like an infant, I cry out to God to sustain me in my new life with Him.

Like a child, I grow in grace and knowledge

with the wisdom, power, goodness of my Father,

with the love of my Savior, and

with the encouragement of the Spirit of the Father and Son within me.

 

My God and Savior provide for my needs and counsel me in my ways.

I walk more and more firmly in the ways of God.

I celebrate my freedom.

 

I celebrate a Father who cares for the sparrows in my yard---

The words of my lips and the hair of my head---

The thoughts of my heart.

 

I celebrate a Savior Who touches a leper, and is touched by a woman's sickness---

Who touches the soul with forgiveness---

Feeds 1,000's, walks on water, moves mountains--

Lifts heavy burdens and heavy hearts---

 

I celebrate a Comforter Who will never leave me nor forsake me---

Who fills my loneliness with love, joy, and peace---

Who gives me knowledge, understanding, and wisdom---

 

Praise be to the God and Father

of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who has blessed us in the heavenly realms

with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Ephesians 1.3
