YOU ARE HOLY AND BLAMELESS IN MY SIGHT. Let these words of blessing sink into your heart, mind and spirit. You may find it hard to believe this amazing truth because you know that you fall short of My holy standard every single day. Indeed, you are not holy and blameless in yourself, and you will never be sinless in this life. Nonetheless, in My sight you are gloriously righteous. When you trusted Me as Savior, you gave Me all your sins -- past, present and future -- and I gave you My perfect righteousness. This is an eternal exchange, securing your place in My royal family forever.
This was a most costly transaction for Me. Your redemption, the forgiveness of sins, was accomplished through My blood -- poured out freely because I love you. I want you to ponder how wide and long and high and deep is this vast ocean of Love I have for you. As you spend time in My Presence -- opening your heart to Me -- you are able to receive more and more of this Love that surpasses knowledge!
- Jesus
