Plentiful redemption. I praise You!
But with You there is forgiveness, that You may be feared. For against You alone have I sinned. Lord, illumine me about my need, my desperate need to be forgiven that I may fear You and respond rightly to You in all my ways. Please don’t allow me or my schedule or my inattentiveness to put the cross in the background or off to the side; Lord, I need to see everything, to think about anything, to decide about all things in light of the Cross. What You have done for me – because of what I have done to You. Your forgiveness is not free. It cost You greatly and it demands from me all that I am. I praise You more.
