That’s why the resurrection changes everything. For when you receive Jesus you receive His Spirit. And when you receive His Spirit, you receive the power to live this new life of grace, truth, hope and love. And this is what our world needs today.

It is well and good to praise God for the good things in our lives – a loving family, great friendships, financial success, a great church. But here David shows that a man with a heart after God doesn’t praise God just when things are going well. Here he praises God when life isn’t going his way. This is why David is a great example OF EVERYDAY PRAISE.

Our Problem: We come into Christianity by receiving Jesus Christ by faith, but then we try to live this new life OUT OF OUR OWN ABILITY and STRENGTH. And when we do that we fail. We try to love but we can’t. We try to be kind but sometimes we don’t really feel like it. We try to not get angry, but we lose our cool. And then we feel like we’ve let God down; so we try again. But we fail again and again and again. And eventually we find it’s TOO HARD to live this new life, so we stop trying. Oh a part of you still wishes you could live this new life, but you’ve figured it’s just not worth the aggravation or disappointment. And if that’s where you find yourself this morning, then I have some good news for you. You are right! You can’t live this new life, but Jesus can.

The Holy Spirit is the catalyst that helps us know the Father’s love, and it’s the Holy Spirit that now awakens us to want to love like the Father loves. So the next time you experience that inner compulsion to love someone unselfishly, whereas before, you might have feared them, ignored them or rejected them… that is evidence of God’s Holy Spirit alive in you.

No one is too damaged or too far-gone for Jesus. And that makes Jesus our greatest hope: He will never give up on you. He will never throw you away. He will never let you go. This is our Jesus, the Hero of our story. He is always for us, never against us.

God’s way is to choose simple, messed up, people who’ve been wounded and wasted by sin, bring us together by the love of Christ, and then through us dazzle the world with the amazing love of Christ. This is His plan. His way… and our potential!
