Create in me a pure heart,
So I can clearly see
The light of Jesus shining,
His holiness in me.
May Your grace be on my lips
In everything I say.
Discreet and obedient,
Blameless in every way.
Turn me away from evil
And always do what's good;
Pursuing peace, faith, and love,
Seeking them as I should.
Will I praise God with my lips
When my heart is far away?
Will I worship Him in vain,
Not meaning what I say?
Lord, give me an honest heart
That loves You through and through,
With actions that always prove
My intentions are true.
"But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift." Ephesians 4:7
"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." Colossians 4:6
Grace is unmerited divine favor, which God gives each one of us when we are forgiven of our sins. It is also given to us to show love, courtesy, and forgiveness to others. We are to practice patience and compassion toward the people around us, reflecting the grace we have received. God gives us grace every day and it is just enough. Have you used yours today?
