Jesus is the Savior, and if we truly love Him, we will obey Him. He is our LORD and our GOD. We are never to treat His sacrifice frivolously as Christ is the only means of salvation provided for us, and never take His mercy and grace for granted. He came here to earth as GOD in the flesh and dwelt among us. He is able to empathize with our weakness for He was tempted in every way yet He was perfect. His power is made perfect in weakness, and His grace is more than sufficient, and He is with you always, and HE is your strength.

PRAYER: My LORD and my GOD, You are my Savior and You are my King. Thank You for redeeming and saving me. Thank You for capturing me to set me free. Help me to remember that Your sacrifice is not to be taken frivolously nor is it to be trampled upon. Thank You for Your mercy. Your grace is more than sufficient. Be with me always and strengthen me to do what You have called me to do. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
