Five Minute Friday - Giving Thanks

Father as I meditate on Your loving-kindness and goodness

Thanksgiving comes from my heart and is on my lips

Thank You for sending Your Son to bear my sins upon the cross

Because of Christ, my sin debt was marked “Paid in Full”

Thank You for the blood of Jesus Christ

Which cleansed me from all my sin

Thank You for the Gift of Promise

The Holy Spirit, my Guarantee of a future spent with You

Thank You for redeeming this wretched sinner

Taking my heart of stone and giving me a heart of flesh

Thank You for clothing me

In the righteousness of Christ

Thank You for Your life giving Word

Like a river of life for my thirsty soul

Thank You for Your transforming power

Empowering and enabling me to walk victoriously over sin

Thank You for the promise of heaven

An eternity spent with You…the Lover of my soul
