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 Hide and Seek by First15 Worship feat. Nikki Moltz.

Thank you so much for listening to today’s podcast. 

 

In God, repentance is a joyful thing, because in acknowledging our wrong we get to experience God’s incredible compassion and forgiveness. And in being forgiven, we’re freed from the weight sin brings on to our life. 

 

I hope that your experience with God today gives you a true sense of that lightness in him throughout the rest of your day. 

 

Have a great day, and may God bless you as you seek him.

My Time with God is a 20 day devotional written for young readers, ages 6-12, to help encourage and equip them to establish a lifetime of learning and walking with God through daily scripture reading and reflection. Each day of this 20 day devotional includes scriptures, activities, and prayers to help growing believers learn how to connect more deeply with God and about how spending time with God helps us live the life he’s called us to. 

 

This resource is foundational, answering questions such as, 

 

• What is a devotional?

• What is prayer? 

• Why spend time with God? 

• What does it mean to enjoy God’s presence? 

“When we choose to love God and let ourselves experience his love, he also teaches us how to love others. Living for love means living like Jesus did. He was always thinking of others.”
