stood against you is completely eradi cated; the record is expunged. God’s being just is revealed in the fact that what the Lord forgives in heav en, He also cleanses on earth. The sin on your heart need no longer be a burden to you. If you will come with childlike faith, confessing your sin, your life will be cleansed be cause of the justice of God. Having received forgiveness from God by simple faith, we claim the cleansing in our own hearts, through the justice of God. You can say, “Heavenly Father, my sin is forgiven through the precious blood of Christ. But now, dear Lord, I can come be fore Thee with a quiet spirit of in ward peace, rejoicing because what Thou dost forgive in heaven, Thou wilt cleanse on earth. I worship and adore Thee for all that Thou hast done for me.” Why don’t you claim t h i s forgiveness a n d cleansing; above all, thanking Him for all that He has done for you? • It's not right that millions living here have never cared when millions dying there have never heard. * *
A PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, in the quiet of the morning hour I come to Thee for peace, wisdom, power To view the world through love-filled lives. Be patient, understanding, wise, to see Beyond what seems to be, and know Thy Children as Thou knowest them, and so Naught but good in anyone behold. Make deaf my ears to slander that is told; Silence my tongue to all that is un kind. Let only thoughts of peace dwell in my mind, Let me so kindly be, so full of cheer That all I meet might feel Thy Presence near. Oh clothe me in Thy beauty, this I pray, Let me reveal Thee, Lord, through all the day.
JOY BEYOND HAPPINESS How many people do you know who are really contented with life and sat isfied with the place which God has given them? Happiness is always con ditioned by outward circumstances; however, true joy is based on the knowledge that we have the indwelling presence of God’s Holy Spirit. It may seem like a paradox. Yet what a bless ing it is for the true believer to face the pathway of life, though surfeited by trials and testings, with that set tled joy and confidence that cannot even be shaken by the disappointments of life. As we rest in the love and keep ing power of our Lord Jesus Christ, we can rejoice that God holds our hand. Remember, it’s not a case of hanging onto Him, but the security of His having a hold on us, as this blessed verse of promise assures us in the words of the Psalmist, “Nevertheless, I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.” 10
