WHY GRACE?
CONFESSION
I am afraid.
God, forgive me when I forget the beautiful gift of this life you’ve given me.
Forgive me when I forget the beautiful way you crafted me.
Forgive me when I don’t appreciate and love me – Your Child.
Help me in my “forgets” and “unappreciates.”
Help me value the afraid that you made me to be.
THE GOOD NEWS
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
… in Jesus Christ we ARE forgiven!
Amen. Thanks be to God!
