Good Morning, God
Lord, how sad for a man to live out his life in prison. Jerry Sandusky, at the age of 68 will spend at least 30 years behind bars, after being sentenced to 60 years for his crimes.
But sadder yet are the young men who were the victims of Sandusky’s advances, abuses and molestations. Their lives will go beyond thirty years, probably even 60 years. Hopefully, Lord, your grace, mercy and peace will be given to them to heal the hurt and pain and any shame and hate. Lord, your gift of grace can do miracles within our lives when we let it. We don’t have to have suffered a horrendous crime, either. Your grace is available for any of our hurts and problems no matter the size. Your shoulders are broad enough to take any and all of our wrong-doings. Your forgiveness is able to overcome even the deepest shame and guilt.
Today, Lord, may we both experience and offer your grace for those we have hurt and for those who have hurt us.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
