What a GREAT morning. The reading today went along with my morning. I know God ordered it. We know that we shall give an account for every idle word spoken. So, how much more will we have to contend with every ignorant or stupid thing/deed we have done? Make no mistake that we reap what we sow while at home in these bodies. Some of us will have to deal with our pasts the remainder of our lives because even though it’s in the past, people will dredge it up. It makes you feel bad and takes your eyes off of Christ if not careful. Now the good news. There has never been one found worthy except King Jesus, the Lamb. While the world will hold your past against you, in faith, you don’t have to hold it against yourself any longer. Yes, the world, will hold you accountable for every hurtful word, hurtful deed, lie, misunderstanding, and even knowing they themselves have done the same thing, will keep bringing it up over and over again. It gives them some manner of control over you. However, in faith, you can let it go. The world isn’t just. In nature, if you make a mistake, you pay for that mistake once. You don’t pay for it over and over again. Humans make a mistake and they pay for it hundreds if not thousands of times. In addition to the world making you pay for your mistake you also victimize yourself and beat yourself up thousands of times for not being perfect. Now for the good news of Christ. Christ brings balance. Christ keeps record alright. He’s got every hair on your head numbered. He catches every tear and every prayer. Every charitable deed done in secret He collects. Every smile. Every kindness. While you can’t see the beauty and goodness in yourself, He does. He’s the only one that’s ever been worthy of the Throne because He lived like we live in the flesh yet without sin. My Jesus is the only one worthy to sit and judge and guess what? He judges the intent of the heart. He’s the righteous judge. He forgives the drunk. He forgives the drug addict. He forgives the thief. He forgives the adulterer. He forgives the smallest of sin and forgives the most vile of sin when we put our trust and faith in our Jesus. You can walk through the fires of hell, while the world cries “crucify” (your name here) with your heart and head held high knowing those people cannot judge you because they too are a sinner like you. They aren’t worthy to sit on the throne and judge. They don’t have the pedigree. King Jesus asks “where are your accusers that have not sinned?” You can confidently say, “I have none.” Jesus who is invariable will say, “Neither do I accuse you. Go away, walk in heavenly places and do your best. Your faith in me has made you perfect like me.” Isn’t Jesus good!? This comes with responsibility on our own part to forgive ourselves and also to forgive others quickly for our/their trespasses.
Come now and let us reason together. Though your sins be scarlet I’ll make them white as snow….
Join me today in self love and love of the brethren and sisters. It’s a beautiful place. Let go what you are carrying. I have. I love you Jesus. ❤️
