Daily Prayer
God, Your salvation is amazing. We are sinners, not even looking to be saved. We are self-seeking people who long to be self-satisfied. But it doesn't work, and we need a Savior.
Your Son did not consider His own position something to cling to, but left His place by Your side and became one of us. To show us who You are. To seek us. To save us.
Thank You.
Amen
