“God, we want to reign in life, not because we claim “reigning in life” as some doctrine, but because we’ve owned up to the darkness in our hearts and claimed YOU as the only hope. And now that we’ve found that only You can bring hope, we want to be the kind of people that, without wavering, give glory to You, fully persuaded that You are a God who keeps Your promises. You take even our darkened hearts, our futile thinking, our sin and weakness, our stupidity, our emptiness and loneliness—and you call things that are not as though they are. You want to give us the very life of Your Son—not just His salvation, but His very life. And God, we are fully persuaded that You want to keep Your promise. We want to be the kind of people that walk by faith.” 10:53 a.m.
