Forgiven

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

What can separate me

from the love of the Lord?

What can take me away

from the grace of the Father?

How can I lose

what has been given to me,

what I never earned

in the first place?

I cannot.

Therefore,

I rejoice in You, Lord,

for the gift of grace,

the perfect gift of mercy

through Christ.

I am Your temple,

Your territory -

I cannot be consumed by evil,

I cannot be torn from Your love.

As sure as I have breath,

as sure as the earth below my feet,

I am redeemed,

forgiven,

and saved by the blood of Christ.

Nothing will separate me

from You,

my God,

because You chose me,

saved me,

and reconciled me

back to You.

Amen.
