Danny had spent years trying to do enough good to make up for the harm he’d done. There were things he could still set right, but no amount of good he did could earn his forgiveness. When he put his trust in God, he found that Jesus had paid for his sins with His own blood. The joy of being forgiven opened Danny’s eyes to how much else God had done for him. He remembered the help God sent and all the hard days God brought him through. Even on days when nothing went his way, he was alive. He belonged to God. God’s grace wasn’t just sufficient. It was magnificent! Danny’s lips trembled as he said, “Thank you,” but his heart smiled and sang a joyful song. He had a reason to praise God with every breath.
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities … Who redeemeth thy life from destruction.” —Psalm 103:2–4
