Remember how you were lost in the wilderness of wrongdoing
Remember how it brought you nothing but misery and suffering
But now you have heard the truth from your friend
You are living in the fields of righteousness not your own it was given to you as a cloak to cover you when you trusted Christ our lord.
It was he who bore the weight of your wrongdoing and delivered you from its shame and sorrow
Let us rejoice together and work toward a better future. The path marked out for us is not easy but is full of hollows and sinkholes. But we can rejoice because our all-knowing Christ knows all things and he has marked out the path for us
Let us not become vain or conceited but extol in the virtues he has shown us in his eternal character.
For He is without stain, blot or blemish.
He is perfect in every way.
There is nothing false in him for he is the embodiment of truth.
Let us rejoice because we have been transformed by His eternal Spirit who indeed dwells within us.
Let us not negate our destiny by following a different lord or straying from the path that he has laid before us
Indeed transformation is key to our success
We are being renewed daily by his guiding spirit and the Word of Truth who came down, becoming human in every way. Yet was without sin from birth for no man was his father but was conceived of a virgin whose name was Mary.
Let Christ be with you and your valentine this February
Let him be your guiding principle and mentor
Amen
