One night, I was exhausted and overburdened with a deep sense of guilt-false and real. Prayers could not be expressed to Him; eyes could not read His word. Then, as I climbed into my bed, God put me to restful sleep with these words....

"No condemnation...just love...and love...and love..."

Meditation:

Psalm 127:2

"....for He grants sleep to those He loves."

Romans 8:1-4

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus...."

John 3:16-17

"....For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."
