Have you ever had experiences in your life that you truly just chalked up to “I messed up, it wasn’t in the plan, gosh I am so _______ (whatever you tell yourself)” Do you think God was surprised?
Our Father knows us and has our entire lives handled and our future handled before we ever took a breath. Nothing is new under his Son, or the sun either…..murder, adultery, lying, deception, broken families….they are all stories of the old testament….and today too. What matters? Faith that God loves you, forgives you, repenting your sins, having faith that you’re forgiven, forgiving the past and going forward to the present and future.
Its a Christian’s rotation, faith forgiveness, faith, repentence, faith.. restoration, faith, repentence, faith forgiveness….God provided his son so we could be forgiven, healed, freed from our bondage because of sin….we are indeed saints after we accept the grace and forgiveness of all of our sins and our future sins…as long as we believe in God’s love, his death on the cross, his son Jesus and in being obedient to his calls and repenting when we fall short as we were made and will always do until he perfects us in His presence.
God is God and we are not….
that is my comfort each time I fail….and that He loves me, despite me…..and for that I will always love Him!
