God planned our salvation, He achieved it by his Son, and it is all for His glory.

The healing touch of Jesus knows no limit. He achieves a comprehensive restoration, and issues a comprehensive invitation. And he shows us these things in order that we might turn to him in complete trust – that we might live to bring him glory. He shows us these things, that we might find in him our everything, and give to him our all in all. What will your response be today?
