40,..SALLY COCHRAN P salm 96 says to sing to the Lord a new song. Thar is exactly what I am free to do since I met Jesus Christ. Five years ago He challenged me to accept His offer of total forgiveness from sins and to receive lasting power to lead a new life. By His grace I accepted that gift of forgiveness (whatfreedom!)and now I can daily learn to let that power change me. Of course I fail and often forget His ways, but He is faithful and will not forger the work He has begun in me. Precious also is the knowledge that I am a parr of the body of Christ and someday I will know the body and see it function as a whole. It is the Christ I see in others that excites me for eternal things. David says in Psalm 27 that he would have fainted unless he had believed that he wouldsee the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. This is our hope and it is sure.
