Calvados (14)

Ephesians 1: 7 We have redemption in Him through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.  

Redemption =the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil
Forgive = Absolve from payment. 

The wages of Sin is death, and I sin so I deserve death, but Christ Died in my place and paid my debt.  He redeemed me.  In Christ I am redeemed and forgiven.  It is hard to see myself in that light, but that is how God sees me, because He sees me IN Christ. 

Lord, When you died on the Cross you died for the people of Calvados as well.  Lord, we pray that they too will know about the work of the Cross and believe in You through Your Blood and be part of the body of Christ in Him redeemed and forgiven, according to the riches of His grace.  We praise You in the Name of Jesus.  We ask for the Salvation of France in the Name of Jesus.  Amen.

Étape 6 Dinan to Lisieux

Today and tomorrow will be sprint finishes.  We leave the medieval city of Dinan located in Brittany and travel to Lisieux in the region of Normandy. Dinan is a small port city along the river.  Today you are able to see much of the original city.  It looks very royal. At the finish line in Lisieux we find the Basilica of St.Thérèse.  Over two million visitors come each year on a pilgrimage looking for favor from God.

Lord, we pray as the millions pilgrimage to Lisieux looking for your favor I pray the find that you are waiting for them to come into a personal relationship, knowing you as their Lord and Savior.  Lord, thank you for the salvation that Jesus has provided us on the cross.  Lord, many are seeking but do the see the salvation you have provided through grace and mercy.  Do they except your love and assurance of their justification through the righteousness of Christ.  We pray that they will see and believe.  We pray in the name of Jesus our Savior.  Amen
