Live 4 The LORD

READ

chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:

May grace and peace be multiplied to you.  (1 Peter 1:2, RSV2CE)

RESOLUTION 

I am chosen by God the Father

I am destined by God the Father

I am Sanctified by the Holy Spirit

I am to obey Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit

I am sprinkled with the Blood of Christ

I have Grace multiplied to me

I have Peace multiplied to me

I am chosen to live united to God now and into eternity. I am washed in the blood of Christ so my sins are forgiven. I am destined to live my life in the power of the sanctifying Spirit, in obedience to Christ so I can love like Him. Loving God, loving myself correctly and loving my neighbor as myself. Grace is multiplied to me so I can stay united and surrendered to the Spirit. I have peace with God the Father because I am now in Christ and the Spirit will guide me home. 

PRAY

Thank you my Father for your gifts. Thank you Jesus for washing me and telling me how to live. Thank you Holy Spirit for sanctifying me, empowering me, and guiding me. Holy Trinity, hold me tight. Keep me close. Come after me when I start to stray. Save me from my own self that gets confused and darkened by desires and lies. I believe you, I trust you, I want to love like you, I want to be united to you for eternity. Save me! I am yours. Amen.
