Take a minute, well a few, and listen to every word from the song above. I believe we all could fit into one of the described situations. If not, there may be something hindering your walk with God. Some lie, bitter feeling, angry relationship or past mistake that you feel excludes you from His forgiveness. Your mirror may reflect just a body, lacking the fulfillment from the Holy Spirit. What interrupts your faith? What thought consumes your mind and overpowers His Truth?
"Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 5:18-21)
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:5)
God created you in His image. He knew exactly what He was getting when breathing life into you and me. He makes no mistakes. When He sent Jesus, His only Son, to die for us; He realized we were still sinners. Through one disobedient act, sin came to existence. BUT, through ONE obedient man, all sin was washed away. You are someone worth dying for! God extends grace to you and to me. No sin excludes you from His forgiveness. He waits with open arms to forgive and heal. He never leaves and it is not too late to receive His grace.
Pray for God to help you believe. Look in the mirror and see more than just a body in the reflection. Your existence serves a purpose. He has work for you to accomplish. Push Satan out of the way and allow God to consume you with grace. He knows everything about you, for He created you. Nobody is hidden from God.
God, thank you for this day. Thank You for forgiveness. You are an awesome God and I just stand in awe of all Your work. The people surrounding me, the love poured upon me, the comfort I find in You and the strength provided. Thank You. I love You.
Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
