Romans 8:1-2
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life in Christ has set me free from the law of sin and death.
What of Today’s Verse…
“Free at last, free at last, praise Lord God Almighty I am free at last.” Becoming a Christian means we have been liberated from law-keeping. We now have God living in us, through the Holy Spirit, to not only help us know his will, but to live it. Through the Spirit’s power, we can do what no law could make us do: live up to God’s standards of righteousness.
Â
Let us Pray:
Gracious father, thank you for all of your gifts to me. Today, I want to especially thank you for liberating me from law and empowering me with your Spirit. Fill me and empower me today with your Spirit as I live my life for you. Through Jesus my Lord I pray. Amen.

Strength of kindness…
Â
What is one of the surest signs of strength? It is kindness. It shows real confidence and self assurance to be kind. Kindness comes from strength. And kindness spreads that strength to others. Kindness says things that words alone could never convey.
Actions taken in kindness produce more powerful results, more quickly than would otherwise be the case. The genuine strength that kindness carries is difficult to deny. If you are tempted to be unkind, remember that by taking such an approach you are choosing an uphill battle. All that extra effort to avoid kindness will ultimately gain you nothing.
Choose instead to act with true kindness. And add the undeniable, positive power of kindness to your every effort.
