Can you relate to any of the statements in this video? I sure can, and still consider myself SO BLESSED!!! I am saved from eternal punishment because of the Love of my Jesus!!
What kind of heart can heal our pain? What kind of water can wash our stain?
Philippians 1:6 “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Jesus Christ.” This verse says so much to us. So long as we live on earth we are a constant work in progress, because life will constantly take us through many challenges. We expect that life should be happy and pain free. It truly isn’t what the bible teaches us. To me, now that I have a relationship with Jesus, this world is a place of spiritual development through both good and bad times. Only because of Jesus Christ, and His presence in me, I find I could “be of good cheer” John 16:33, in a world where Jesus said we will have tribulation.
I know that this life will not be pain free, but it is the pains of this life that makes us into the very witnesses that glorify all the Holy Spirit is in us. He is our only source of real power, Acts 1: 8.
I also won’t give into the lie that I am disqualified from the forgiveness of my Great God. No matter what I’ve ever done, grace washes me clean. It is what makes me right with God, and the grace and mercy of God will never change. I have unmerited favor of God, grace which I don’t deserve, only because Jesus took on all my sins and nailed them to the cross. There is nothing that I will ever do, or have done to earn this favor. It is a gift of God. Because of God’s mercy, I will never get what I deserve, eternal punishment. That is why I try and live a life to show how much Jesus means to me.
So if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “How can I ever face myself? What kind of love can ever forgive this?” “How will I ever get through this pain?” The answer is……………….
“ONLY JESUS”
