The Blessing of Brokenness
Psalm 32:5 "Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did
not cover up my iniquity
I said I will confess my transgressions to the Lord and you
forgave the guilt of my sin."
We can have the
confidence here on earth that we have an advocate with the Father in heaven,
Jesus the Righteous one, the atoning sacrifice for our sins not only for ours
but also for the sin of the world.
And at times of our
foolishness and indiscretion we can set our hearts at rest, for if our hearts
condemn us we know that God is greater than our hearts.
Every day when the sun
rises is a new chance to make ourselves more worthy; the old is gone and
what the Father sees in us when He looks down upon us in not our
folly but the stripes of Christ who washed away all the sins of
our yesterdays. What an assurance, what a great love.
Written in the Corinthians, for
the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is
stronger than human strength. But God choose the foolish things of the world to
shame the strong.
God chose the lowly
things of this world and the despised things of this world, and the things
despised so that no one may boast before Him. It is because of Him that
you and I (we) are in Christ Jesus who has become for us wisdom, God
that is our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore as it is written:
"Let the one who boats boast in the Lord."
Following Jesus
For no one can lay any
foundation other than the one already laid which is called Jesus Christ, if any
of us think that we are wise by the standard of age, we
should become fools so that we may become wise.
For the wisdom of the
world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the
wise in their craftiness." The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise
are futile so then no more boasting about human leaders.
All things are ours,
all are ours, us who love the Father, and we are of Christ and Christ is
of God.
"JESUS
IS THE PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH" Therefore, since we are surrounded by
such great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that entangles our
journey and let us run with perseverance the race that is marked out for us
fixing our eyes only on Jesus, the pioneer and the perfecter of our FAITH.
Unity in the Body of Christ
Accepting Jesus Christ
in my life allowed me to enter God's rest, the promise of His great love
that no SIN however enormous and shameful can separate me from His
presence because His love is so GREAT, SO FAITHFUL, AND UNCONDITIONAL.
There is no promise that He made that He did not keep and as for all I
need to do is to enter the REST of which He promised to those who believes in
Him.
Struggles come and go,
test come and go, weakness of the flesh still taunts because it is the devil's
only weapon to lure us to his side but now my eyes were made to see, my mind
was made aware of why I struggled then and even now in the presence of
sin it is because of THE SEED OF RIGHTEOUSNESS planted by the Father in my
heart, because of the knowledge of the sacrifice of Jesus for us to be
WORTHY; and though there is already the surety of VICTORY... I still yearn
to be spotless and blameless not for my own righteousness but because of the
righteousness of the Lord and because of His LOVE, GRACE and MERCY.
Praise and
thanksgiving to our Father in heaven who loves us so much... Let
us welcome His DISCIPLINE in every way because it is a living testimony
that He moves in our lives.
It is written in
Hebrews 12:7-12 "Endure hardship as discipline; God
is treating you as His children. For what children are not disciplined by their
Father. If you are not disciplined- and everyone undergoes discipline then you
are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all
had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much
more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us
for a little while as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good,
in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the
time, but painful. Later on, however it produces a harvest of righteousness and
peace for those who have been trained by it."
For the Father created
our inmost being,
He knits us
together in our mother's womb, just as he formed the stars in heaven; and every
sand dune blown by the wind in the desert
Let us praise Him
because we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
For my life then that
went astray, I ask forgiveness to the Father in the name of Jesus, to not
remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways but to remember me in
love.
My flesh and my heart
may fail but I find strength in the Father
He is hope of my
heart for all eternity.
