Jesus has taken on the sins of our youth – and our yesterday and our “five minutes ago” – and has covered them in His righteous blood.

A spirit of contentment and humility – one that delights to obey the Lord and to honor Jesus Christ in that obedience – will allow God to do great things in and through you for the sake of His kingdom.

Lord, don’t let me live even one day as less than who You say I am! May I walk confidently in the identity You’ve given me.

Know that under God’s loving hand, your hardships lead to holiness.
