God, I am a mess. I am both a mess, and a beautiful work of art; a wretched sinner and a beloved saint. Help me to become what I already am in the most important sight of all—yours. Help me to feel more and more one of your beloved children. Help me to know more and more that there is no condemnation, only complete forgiveness. And help me to experience in my life, in ever greater degrees, actual life transformation—making the holiness that Christ gives me legally an increasing reality in my day to day experience.
