A Prayer of the Day. (Seeds of Shalom) https://www.facebook.com/Seeds-of-Shalom-863967120338361 Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." (John 8:10-11 NIV)

Lord, thank you for bringing righteousness and grace to us. You never overlook any kinds of sin because you did so, there would be no righteousness. Sin and evil must be judged. As the scripture says, there is no one righteous, not even one. Because none of us are perfect, all us are guilty before your righteousness. We are so sensitive to others’ wrong doings but so blind about our sins. We always expect our sins are quickly forgiven but hold a grudge against what others did to us, even a small thing, and do not want to forgive. We are so selfish. Lord, you are righteous and grace at the same time. Instead of judging us immediately, you bore our sins and paid all the cost on the cross and gave us a second chance. And you do not leave us alone but give us your Spirit, the Holy Spirit as our advocate. Oh such a wonderful grace you gave us. Lord, we do not want to go back to the previous life. Lead our transformation journey toward being more like you every day so that we may reflect your grace and righteousness. In Jesus name, amen.
