Colossians 1:13-14 (TPT) He has rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule (footnotes: authority) of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom realm of his beloved son. For in the son all our sins are canceled and we have the release of redemption through his very blood.
Lord? There’s a place in my heart that wants to believe more than ever that all has been on purpose and for your glory and my good. That, in fact, and in line with your scripture, the mysteries are yes and amen. That we are righteous by Jesus, chosen by you and your blood covers all of our sins. That you see us and our example of radical faith and there is celebration in the heavenlies. That we hear and do. That we are sure footed, standing on the rock, in you. That all the mess is not as it appears. That the glimpses I see of Jesus glory after the crucifixion is the glory you see in us.
