TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT  

VERSE:
  "She [Mary] will give birth to a son, and you are to give him
the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
   -- Matthew 1:21
THOUGHT:
  Jesus. Yeshua. Joshua of the spiritual world. Mary's boy, God's
Son, comes to help us tear down the strongholds Satan has built in
our lives. He comes to bring peace to our troubled spirits and joy
to our nights of despair. He comes to not only minister to us and
bless us; he comes to do what no one else could do: he comes to
deliver us from our sins, those spiritual blemishes, rebellions,
mistakes, and transgressions. Praise God! A deliverer who actually
conquered what we could not to make us what we could not otherwise
be -- pure, perfect, and holy children of God, like him (cf. Col.
1:21-23).
PRAYER:
  Thank you, Father, for your forgiveness, cleansing, and
transformation given to me by Jesus and the Holy Spirit. In
Christ's name I pray. Amen.
