My dad's friend (a Katrina hero down south, where he has helped lots of people on the coast) gave us all copies of helpful booklets, one being a devo called "The 31 Days of Grace." Today's (Day 2) reading quotes an awesome word from "The Valley of Vision." It just so happens that lately God has blessed me each day with the exact word I so needed at that time. For a while I heard of people having that experience, but I didn't get a chance to really feel that or get it until the last couple months. It's incredible, so I'm really grateful for an encouraging word when it really totally hits the spot you know?
"To enrich me will not diminish thy fullness;
All they lovingkindness is in they Son,
I bring him to thee in the arms of faith,
I urge his saving name as the one who died for me,
I plead his blood to pay my debts of wrong,
Accept his wrothiness for my unworthiness,
his sinlessness for my transgression,
his purity for my uncleanness,
his sincereity for my guile,
his truth for my deceits,
his meekness for my pride,
his constancy for my backslidings,
his love for my enmity,
his fullness for my emptiness,
his faithfulness for my treachery,
his obedience for my lawlessness,
his glory for my shame,
his devotedness for my waywardness,
his holy life for my unchaste ways,
his righteousness for my dead works,
his death for my life." tVoV p.157
