IF WE CAREFULLY REFLECT on THE LORD’S PRAYER, there are basically 4 things we ASK of THE LORD...FOOD...FORGIVENESS...FRIENDSHIP...FREEDOM... FOOD---Notice we ask for OUR DAILY BREAD...taking one day at a time FORGIVENESS---Conditioned on the premise that WE FORGIVE FIRST FRIENDSHIP---GOD, A TRUE FRIEND ALWAYS points us in the right direction FREEDOM---DELIVERED FROM EVIL, we are free to RETURN HIS FAVOR THE CROSS, the SYMBOL HE LEFT US, reminds us first of our VERTICAL DUTY...TO BECOME RIGHT WITH GOD...and then, our HORIZONTAL DUTY...TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR(S)...WE CANNOT DO THESE ALONE...ONLY WITH HIS GRACE...That is why we say ‘AMAZING GRACE’... SCRIPTURE REMINDS US THAT when He returns IN GLORY
