REMEMBER THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ME IS saturated in grace. Therefore, nothing you do or don't do can separate you from My Presence.
Dear Jesus, We are so thankful for Your grace. When we are keenly aware of having failed You, we grasp on to grace for dear life. Feelings of guilt and fear conspire to convince us we have lost Your Love. Our sense of unworthiness tempts us to punish ourselves for our sins. Then we remember You have clothed us with garments of salvation - arrayed us in Your own righteousness. Our salvation is all about You and what You have done to rescue us. Help us feel more secure in Your Love.
Beloved, it is utterly impossible for Me to stop loving you. Your relationship with Me is so saturated in grace that the two are forever inseparable. Meat that has been marinated in a sauce cannot become un-marinated. The longer it soaks, the deeper it penetrates, flavoring and tenderizing the meat. You have been soaking in grace ever since I became your Savior. The longer you "marinate," the more fully My grace permeates our relationship. It is impossible for you to become un-graced!
I want you to rest in the perfection of your salvation. My glorious grace makes you holy and blameless in My sight. So, nothing you do or fail to do could ever separate you from My Love.
- Jesus
