Author: Evangelist Lisa Dalton

"Heaven Rejoices for You"
Scripture: Luke 15:10, NKJV

"Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

Devotion:
In a world that often celebrates big wins, grand gestures, and viral moments, this verse reminds us that heaven throws a party over something deeply personal and often unseen—a single act of repentance.

When one heart turns back to God, the angels rejoice. Not tolerate. Not note it with mild interest. They rejoice. Imagine the celebration, the divine joy that fills heaven when someone chooses grace over guilt, mercy over shame, restoration over rebellion.

This verse isn't just about the lost being found, it's about being cherished when you return. Whether it’s your hundredth step toward God or your first trembling turn, you matter.

Today's Challenge:
Encourage someone who's struggling with guilt. Remind them that heaven isn’t waiting to be punished. it’s ready to rejoice. Share this verse with someone who needs grace today… and maybe, it's you.

Prayer:
“Father, thank You for seeing me and celebrating me, even when I feel small or broken. Remind me that my repentance matters in heaven. Help me welcome others with the same joy You show me.” In Jesus’ name. Amen.
