Awaken: Day 27

Jesus, 

You are the Overcomer; you overcame the curse of death and the power of sin to enslave us. You gave your all to submit to the will of The Father in every way. And now you are seated beside him, dressed in pure white to demonstrate the perfect purity of your love. The perfect purity of your grace is reflected by the gleaming radiance of your raiment. How beautiful you are!

What a mystery, that by faith in your sacrifice, you have hidden me in yourself. All that you have earned you earned for my benefit. In you, I am an overcomer. In you, I also receive the acceptance of The Father. You have given me your power to love. Though undeserved, you have dressed me in white. You have taken this ugly life of mine and you are making it into a thing of beauty, for your glory. I ask you to increase this work you are doing, all for your name's sake, Jesus, my Lord.

Amen.

Revelation 3: 1b - 2 “I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.”
