pray for God’s love – choose Jesus and embrace the grace offered freely
Message:
Jesus died for you knowing you might not ever love Him back. He died for you knowing in full your absolute worst sins. He died for you forgiving those sins completely and forgives every sin you will continue to choose over Him. He loves you. He wants the best for you. Choose Jesus.
In a world where love can be conditional, the message of Jesus stands in stark contrast, reflecting a divine love that is unwavering and eternal. The sacrifice made on the cross was not based on merit or an expectation of reciprocity. Instead, it was an act of profound grace, demonstrating that God sees you in your entirety—the good, the bad, and everything in between.
Understanding this can transform how we perceive ourselves and our relationship with God. It leads us to realize that we do not have to be perfect or worthy to approach Him. Our worst sins are met with grace, and our hesitations are enveloped in His compassion. This invitation to choose Jesus is not about obligation but about embracing the love that has been offered freely.
Let us take a moment to reflect on this profound truth, to internalize the depth of His love and the grace that covers our transgressions. As we navigate the complexities of life, let it be known that we carry a love that is limitless and forgiving.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, as I come before You today, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible love You have shown through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. It is hard to fathom that You would lay down Your life for me, knowing the depth of my shortcomings and the weight of my sins. Yet, You chose to embrace me with open arms, offering forgiveness that I could never earn. I acknowledge my imperfections and the ways I may choose paths away from You, but I thank You for Your unwavering grace that meets me wherever I am.
Lord, help me comprehend the magnitude of this love, a love that does not waver based on my actions or my decisions. Your desire is not just for my obedience, but for a relationship built on trust, understanding, and profound love. Teach me to respond to Your kindness by choosing You, not just in moments of need but in every aspect of my life. May I be reminded daily that I am loved, cherished, and worthy of grace.
As I move through each day, may my heart be open to receiving Your love and extending it to others. Help me reflect Your kindness in my actions, to be a vessel of grace to those around me. Give me the strength to choose love and compassion, even when faced with challenges or conflicts. Let my life shine as a testimony of Your redeeming grace, a beacon of hope for those who struggle with their worthiness.
Father, I pray that my heart remains anchored in the truth that You love me deeply and genuinely. Help me to choose Jesus daily, embracing the beautiful life You have planned for me. Thank You for desiring what is best for me and for guiding me on my journey. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
