BE PRACTICAL AND BE FREE

Written on 20 March 2016

We all know that we have guardian angels and sometimes we may wish their presence was less discreet...! We have also, though, noticed the presence of a "guardian demon", no doubt, there watching our every move and its name is condemnation. One "faux pas" and he is nagging you constantly! What a nuisance!

When things get out of hand, you need to remember 3 things:

1) you are human

And it is not about to change (yet). Mistakes we will make because the heart is treacherous. BUT God is good and has provided salvation and forgiveness. If your repentance is sincere, just run back home, like the prodigal son did. I do not say its ok to sin but i say that, as hard as we should try NOT to sin, we should never doubt the Father's CONSTANT willingness to welcome us back - over and over again. 2)perfection vs willingness. I have tried to be perfect. I don’t know about you, but it has never worked out for me... The Word says "be perfect" but also that Jesus has become our perfection. He knows we are incapable of perfection. Instead He asks willingness. Willingness implies surrender. It is self-forgiveness and trusting-in-God-ness. It is our only choice because being perfect in our own strength will simply never happen. 3)quality vs quantity. The reality of life is that time never stands still. Spending time with God can be difficult to accomplish. Instead of beating yourself up about it, focus on quality instead of quantity. God is Master of time. He can pump as much revelation into 10min than into 2h. If your heart is sincere, He will meet you there!

When life becomes a rollercoaster, buckle up in trust, ask God to take the seat next to you and you may even end up enjoying the ride..
