Lord Jesus, you see my weakness and rather than turn away from me, you come to me and offer to be my strength. It encourages my heart to know that you are not ashamed of me and that you will never reject me. When I fail, help me to call out to you for help, forgiveness and the healing I need. I am so glad to know that you will always stand by me. - Jackie
