What About You? -Cece Winans

Everybody's looking for a peace that flowsAnd everybody wants a place to goNobody wants to kneel and pray

So nobody receives results without faithWhen someone falls along the waysideAnd everybody knows whyAnother heart sadly broken

Everybody needs someone to loveEverybody wants some hand to holdEverybody needs salvation for their soulSo what about you?

Everybody wants to live life goodDoes anyone live the way they shouldIt's never too late to turn around'Cuz everyone lost can be found

So when you're feeling so aloneDon't think that you can't come homeAnd when you want to be heldMy arms are open so let me know

Everybody needs someone to loveEverybody wants some hand to holdEverybody needs salvation for their soulSo what about you?

No Condemnation

I've been on the topic newness for a while now but the phrase place in my spirit today about newness was "No Condemnation." I want to write on the subject of a new beginning in Christ Jesus and reflect on the mercy of God. Romans 8:1 says

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"

Often times we get stuck on our past mistakes and shortcomings that we condemn ourselves. It is a good thing that we feel remorse for our wrong doings because that is a sign of the hand of the Holy Spirit pulling us towards righteousness. In our remorse however, we must remember God's mercy. There is no sin that God's mercy cannot pardon IF we come to Him and repent. If you search the Word of God and look at the life of David, you will see the abundance of God's mercy. David lied, committed adultery with another man's wife and then killed the husband, yet the Bible describes him as "a man after God's heart". Why? Because every time David fell short of God's glory, he realized it and approached God crying on bended knees. 

"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned "- Psalm 51: 1-4a

God is a Just God but He's a loving God. He will not turn a deaf ear to your cries. We cannot hold God to the standards of how man forgives. If you offend someone today, they may forgive you but they may not. In the case where they do forgive, often times we hear them say "I can forgive, but never forget." This is not how God works. God forgives AND forgets. He will never use something you did 5 years ago or 5 minutes ago against you if you've truly repented. His mercies are new every morning meaning there is always enough mercy to cover you. All the Lord requires of you is a broken spirit. 

"The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God."-Psalm 51:17

With this we can boldly approach the throne of Grace and Mercy and ask for forgiveness. Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and me, for all the wrong we've done, for all the wrongs we do daily, and for all the wrongs that we can possibly commit. You are covered! This is not an excuse to live recklessly though.Apostle Paul asked " Should we continue in sin that grace may abide?" and he answered himself saying " God forbid". God's mercy covers us when we fall, but His grace enables us to strive towards perfection and a holy life. Therefore if you are struggling with past mistakes and sin, I urge you to go to God about it and ask for His forgiveness. He will forgive but then you also must forgive yourself. You are still precious to Him, you are still of great value. Remember that a lost piece of gold has not lost its value, just its usefulness. If that lost gold is found, it still carries the value of gold therefore know that you are still God's gold. Allow God to restore you to your proper position in life.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
