2 Corinthians 1; James 1; Colossians 1; 2 Corinthians 2

Thank you, Father, that all your promises are yes and amen through Christ Jesus. To your glory, you have established me in Christ and anointed me with your Holy Spirit.

From you, the Father of Light, I have good and perfect gifts. Through Christ, by your grace, Father, I have salvation and redemption. I have been reconciled to you. I have been bought back from slave to sin, and now I belong to you.

There is no variation or chance that you will change your mind about me. You have placed Christ in me and that is glorious. You have birthed me again by your word so that I am a kind of first fruit of your creation by Christ and with Christ.

Thank you, Father, that you always lead me in triumph in Christ Jesus and that his Spirit in me gives a fragrance of sacrifice that is always pleasing to you. It is the aroma of life leading to life.
