Good Morning Beautiful People…News, News, Good News …
Are You Perfect? I have had the privilege to pray for several people in the last few days. One thing that they all had in common is they were not perfect. They had all messed up in some way. The enemy of our souls likes to bring condemnation to people that aren’t perfect. That would be all of us folks, you included.
It seemed a bit odd, when I asked them if they could forgive themselves for not being perfect. It seemed strange when I first spoke the words. Then I started thinking about it myself. I can get really hard on myself when I mess up. Oh, how I wish I was perfect, but I am not. We are all in the same boat.
As I journeyed on, I would have the privilege to meet and pray with someone else. Ironically enough this was the common thread these last few days. People being upset with themselves for not being perfect.
Now don’t get me wrong there are consequences for our sins and some mistakes are more costly than others. One thing for sure is this, according to the Word of God in Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That’s you and that’s me. Thank God for His mercy and His grace.
The good news is the gospel of Jesus Christ. He paid the price, a price He did not owe, and we owed a price we could not pay. So today give yourselves a brush on each shoulder and say a prayer of thanksgiving that you don’t need to be perfect. Forgive yourself for being human and not doing everything perfectly right. Take the pressure off, it feels good to walk in freedom. Chances are you will mess up again before your final meeting in the air.
Look in your mirror today and say thank you God that there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1). Lift your head up high and say thank you God that your shield surrounds me and you are the lifter of my head. (Psalm 3:3)
Enjoy your day beautiful people, you are loved. If you question His love for you in any way please read the book of John in your Bible. He loves You!
I want to take the privilege of praying for you today.
Father, thank you for your son Jesus. Thank you that He paid the price we could never pay. Lord, we want to do what’s right at all times, but unfortunately we don’t get it right all the time. Thank you for the grace to forgive others and forgive ourselves.
Today, all across this globe, I declare condemnation is breaking off of God’s people. There is no perfect person here on earth. Whatever they have done wrong, whatever sins have been committed, the cross has made a way for them.
Your love for mankind is so amazing. May your people truly feel the love of Christ today wherever they journey. Together, as Christians we thank you for changing us from glory to glory.
Father, may many come to know you today as Jesus, lover of their soul today. Your heart is that none would perish, that’s our heart too. (John 3:16) Let the good news spread like wildfire all across this globe today by every means possible. Amen
