Dear Loved Ones...
Until the sin in our lives causes us to pause and tremble, until that sin grips our heart with pain... We will never truly be free from the sin Christ paid to redeem us from. For if we dabble or play in the offerings of the world - we begin to rank and marginalize sin. We justify our actions by those that we think are worse in others. All the time, forgetting God's position on sin.
In God's eyes - steeling twenty cent pencil from the office is as much an infringement on the Law as slicing your neighbor's throat. In Matthew 5 Christ said "blessed are they that mourn". That mourning is over our sinful wicked ways, and those that understand that sin separates us from the fellowship of the Lord - will be comforted by the Holy Spirit. For those that are poor in Spirit, understanding, believing and trusting Christ is our only hope to be in God's presence - shutter when they have infringed on His Grace, through the selfish acts of sin.
Examine your hearts, lay those infractions at the foot of the cross, repent and then turn away and walk with Christ. Grow in Christ. Love Christ. Exalt Christ and then bask in the freedom from sin as it was meant to be. Then when He either calls you Home, or He returns to take us - you will see the face of God.
Go in Christ - and Keep Going...
