as i was just reading a page in "40 Days With Jesus", i was reminded that no matter what i do, it's okay. it's not OKAY, but it's okay in the sense that God cares about me too much to condemn me for it. i always feel like i HAVE to do the right thing...like a religion. i treat my relationship with God like a religion. i'm not saying it's okay to sin. i'm saying salvation is not our burden. we've been rescued from our ugly way of living, but i act like i need to repay God with good deeds when really He just wants my heart. ALL He wants is for me to FALL at His feet. to LEAN on HIM and TRUST HIM. He will take care of the rest. sure i will still have hard times, but they will be SO much more bearable with Him than by myself.
"the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin." ~ 1 John 1:7b
notice it doesn't say "our great works purify us from all sin." [man would i be in trouble then]
no...NOTHING but the BLOOD OF JESUS!
