Thank You for taking the penalty for my sin. I do not thank You enough for the sacrifice that my salvation took. You gave up your life, so that I could live. All too often I forget the cost. And all too often I say thank you with my lips, but my heart does not understand the gravity of the words. So humbly I come, with tears in my eyes, and say "thank you" for coming to my rescue. Thank You for giving me the gift of continual access to You and Your Father through prayer. Thank You for paying with Your blood for my "ticket to Heaven" which gives me hope and security in a world full of pain. Thank You for dying, even though you knew I would continue to mess up and have times of stubbornness and rebellion. I take the time to write my family and friends thank you notes, yet I have never written You one. Forgive me.
Thank You for never giving up on me. Thank You for loving me where I am, yet always calling me to becoming closer to You. Thank You for who I am through You.
Most of all, thank You for giving me what I could not give myself: salvation, freedom, redemption.
Thank You for the life I have because of Your sacrifice.
I could go on for a long time...thanking You for all that You have done in my life...
I offer instead my life. And these simple words: Thank You.
Your adopted and forgiven daughter,
Nicole
