There is a whole bunch of anger and animosity in our world these days. It seems really hard to get to the truth of matters as well at times. The main problem in our world today is the same problem that we have been dealing with since the beginning when Adam sinned against God by eating the fruit from the tree that was forbidden for him to eat from. The problem is the human heart.
There is an ugliness to the human heart that no one really wants to think about or even recognize. Many people want to think that they are above everyone else and that they have done no wrongs. The heart is highly deceitful above all things. Only God can truly know what is in a person`s heart.
We have all sinned and we have all fallen short of God's high standards. We have all made really dumb choices and decisions. There is not one of us that is perfect. I am not perfect. I have failed many times at many things. I have sinned against God and against others many times over the years.
I am thankful that I found forgiveness at the Cross of Jesus Christ. I regret the sinful and foolish things I have done in the past and I have repented of them and confessed them to the Lord Jesus (sometimes many times). I am thankful that Jesus forgives me and He takes those things and remembers them no more.
Sometimes the devil likes to remind us where we have failed, but the Lord Jesus assures us that if we are trusting in His finished work of the Cross and that if we have received Him as our Lord and Savior then we are His child and we are forgiving through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
The enemy will attack us and try to bring us down, but we must stand strong in the truth of who the Lord is and we must stand firm upon the truth of the Holy Bible. Truth will prevail in the end.
Lord,
Thank You for forgiving me of my sins.
Thank You for not holding those things against me that I did in ignorance.
Thank you for saving a wretched man such as I and cleansing my in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
I praise Your Name O Lord.
Live through me through the Holy Spirit and make me more like Jesus everyday.
Come Soon Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
