Your forgiven
Now to part 2 of the story. I was too hasty to press the submit key yesterday but the following is where the Lord was leading me with this.
When that happened yesterday morning - I thought first of Smokey - and I said to myself no doubt he would be able to turn this into a story and bring in some scripture. I was so busy I left the thread unfinished until today.
When I discovered the mess it made me think of the unconfessed sin in our lives. We forget about it just like my 'tissue' and then through our daily cycle in life - that sin starts to affect other things in our lives and other people - just the way the tissue started to affect other items of my clothing.
I was looking for a solution - I knew of one but wanted to find out if all of you in America had any ideas different to me.
Thats like us sometimes we know there is a solution but we try and seek other ways to sort out our problems when deep down we should head straight to the Lord.
Just like me - the ONLY thing that could get that stuff off the school uniform and work uniform was the duck tape.
What Jesus does for us is a bit like that duck tape - he just takes those sins in our lives and picks them up so easily and makes us spotless again.
Only Jesus has washed our sins away by the shedding of his blood on the cross.
Revelation 1:5
Unto HIM that loved us, and washed us from our sins
in HIS own blood.
Colossians 1:14
we have redemption through HIS blood, even the forgiveness of sins
I think this recipe sums it all up. I listened to this alot yesterday.
