Summary
Not one of us is without sin. And each of us lives with a need for consistent repentance and an active receiving of God’s forgiveness. This is so crucial to living poor in spirit. The beauty of our God is that his forgiveness is promised at our repentance. There is no fear or shame in God’s perfect love and mercy. May we learn to embrace this aspect of walking with the Lord rather than shy away from it.
Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 1:7, and today's worship is O Come To The Altar by Elevation Worship feat. Chris Brown.
