A
reminder for today
And
whenever the tormenting spirit from God troubled Saul, David would play the
harp. Then Saul would feel better, and the tormenting spirit would go away. (1
Samuel 16:23)
When I read this I thought about someone else. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has
been thrown down to earth—the one who accuses them before our God day and night
(Revelation 12).
My dear friend, what is your burden that you carry with
you? I have so often woke up and sat here in front of this notebook and
wondered why am I writing to you. Why would the Lord pick someone like me to
write His message when I have not lived a life suited for such an important
thing in His plan? You see when we give our lives to Jesus and we openly
confess that He is the Lord and we willingly share this with other we become a
threat to satan. As long as you are on the wrong path you are of no concern to
him, but the moment your heart belongs to Jesus you become one of his number
one targets. He will do anything to distract you and deceive you in believing
that you are not worthy of this great love of Jesus.
When Jesus died on that cross and rose again, He defeated
the enemy and all the power he could possibly have over us. You are set free
from his accusations and free to live in the light of Jesus. I love these
words: “When the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future.” There
is no condemnation and no grip on your life, you are free. Whatever sits on
your shoulder reminding you of your faults is not Jesus, just look past the
enemy’s deception and you will see the love of Jesus openly welcoming you into
His arms.
My dear and wonderful friend, there is nothing that you
have done that the Lord cannot forgive and take away from you. Give it all to
Him today and step out into the light a new person with a new heart and new
hope, because you are free, and remember that God does not look at the outside,
He looks at the inside, that humble repenting heart worshipping Him.
Come with me today as we lay down our past at His feet
and worship Him with hands lifted high. Wherever you are and whatever you do
today, you can do it with new joy in your heart for you are wonderfully perfect
in His eyes and washed clean from all that could possibly have hindered your
relationship with Him.
I look forward to meet you here again on Monday. Have and
awesome day and a wonderful (resting) weekend, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
