The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all: he has compassion on all he has made. -Psalm 145:8-9 "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound…" Not only a sweet sound, but, "What a relief! God could have been anything he wanted to be, but he is actually gracious and compassionate. In our Western or 'Christianized' world we're so used to hearing about 'amazing grace' that it doesn't seem so amazing anymore." "…Whatever pain

Your 100 Day Prayer: Day 49 – I Chose You
by TJ Bates You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. -John 15:16 Understanding the meaning of "I chose you" is so important, that instead of quoting a portion in the book, I'm quoting the complete explanation: "In the church today, we talk a lot about 'making Jesus Lord' or choosing Jesus or making a decision for him.
