The news is full of so much junk! I am determined to share light when I can because there are a lot of good people in this world.
Today wasn’t my best day. After a series of events, I drove into the Summit parking lot and pulled into a parking stall only to hit and side swipe a beautiful Land Rover right next to me. I have a newer car- so what. It is a car; an earthly thing, not an eternal treasure. I was an emotional mess, however, as I sat and waited for the owner of the other car to return. She finally came and hopped in her car ready to drive away as I was tearfully knocking on her window.
I was met with mercy! I was met with kindness, a smile, a hug and I was met with a person manifesting the character of Jesus. The relief I felt when I was excused from the guilt and shame of my offense was the essence of freedom.
We have all been released should we chose to be. We have all been acquitted if we only accept it.
It is only when we feel the weight of our offense that the ransom is so sweet!
Not knowing you will be received with love, not knowing you will be forgiven is a substantial weight to sustain as I did for a short time today. Don’t live with that burden for a life time. Let yourselves be freed, friends.
Lastly, it is where our treasures lie that determine our reactions when they are compromised. I am thankful that today I stared into eyes that are not set on the things of this world!
Be Jesus to someone today and tomorrow should it come. It is so much more about our walk than our talk!
Matthew 5:7 ~“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
