The Skeleton Key
He does not deal with
us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love
toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he
remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his
children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our
frame; he remembers that we are dust.
Psalm 103:10-14 (ESV)
Psalm 103:10-14 (ESV)
There is no doubt we can be our own worst enemies. We have
the ability to allow our wants, desires, and other peoples influence take us
from the path in which God knows is best for us. However, the great news is
that there is always an open door back! Like the dad of the prodigal son in Luke
15:11-32, Father God welcomes us back into His court (time and time again).
God's forgiveness abounds so much, that even a man who openly denied Christ
(Peter) before his crucifixion (Luke
22:54-62) went on to deliver the message of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-36).
The key is to always seek God.
Seek Him in your highs and lows, obedience and disobedience.
Only through Christ are we made perfect, alone we will never
be. Yet, that doesn't mean in the midst of whatever we are going through that
God doesn't care, whether it be by our own design or another's.
He is creator of the world, and He loves you so very much!
Remember, it is by Him you are alive. It was by Him you were born.
For I am convinced that neither death nor
life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor
the future, nor any powers, neither height
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from
the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
