lately, I've been noticing...how I try to do it all in my own dirt covered hands. sounds common doesn't it?
or to walk and talk about shame and be hard on myself. lack focus. maybe attack because of a future weekend..very God big stuff.
why not let Jesus handle it? He didn't intend for me to walk with shame. sometimes it is hard to overcome or let go of a sin because it is so easy for us.
there's nothing I can do to earn something I in fact already have. His favor. grace. love. and mercy.
works can't do it. i can't do it. people can't do it for me. Jesus has already done it. Scripture has meaning directly. sometimes different interpretations. sometimes a verse can mean one meaning in a season of life. and a different meaning in another season of life. Christ doesn't cause us to break by the board or strain ourselves in pious self-denial.
peace. rest. joy. love. future seeker not past sitter.
[Jesus paid it all. all to Him i owe. sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow. oh praise the One who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead.]
it's like God saying ["I've paid it all. live for Me. sin no more. be free to love Me and love people. seek Me. learn from Me. follow Me. be a fisher of men. in My Name. with God, my Father, Myself, and the Holy Spirit, our helper. "]
Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. there's something about that Name.
