We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21
God above, You have torn the veil separating man from You.
You have conquered death and made a way for me to have a relationship with You. I am astonished and ever thankful for this!
I forget so quickly that I can talk to You anytime... anywhere. Allow me to turn to You today with each step I take, with every question that crosses my mind, and every difficulty that I encounter. Help me to remember that You are my Father and I am Your child, and I am never denied immediate access to You.
Surround my friends and family with Your forgiveness today. Remind them that You are eager to forgive them, if they'd only ask. Help them to let go of any guilt they cling to. Help them to realize that they no longer have to carry shame.
Thank You for making us Your ambassadors on this earth. Help us walk in Your peace. And Mighty God, protect and empower those that are travelling to Nicaragua. Thank you for the opportunity they’ll have to meet some of the children that we are sponsoring. May they be a voice of encouragement, hope, and peace to the children’s families and to the local church.
In the name of Jesus, the One who knew no sin, Amen.
