The Lord is our strength and our song and has become our salvation – Jim prays for us and gives thanks to God this Evening Prayer. He reminds us that when we walk in darkness, or feel worthless, when we need forgiveness, or search for God’s grace – our Lord is always there with us. Jim considers Easter and Christ’s sacrifice – where the bonds of death and darkness are broken by Christ’s resurrection. Our lives had no hope of eternal happiness before our sins were washed away, our innocence restored through our Father’s inestimable tenderness and love.
