In the denominations, in which my friend Gracie and I were raised, we were always striving:
– Do this and God will love you.
– Do that and you will be forgiven.
– Follow this rule, and if you don’t, it’s a mortal sin and you’ll go straight to hell.
– If I forgot to confess that sin, would I make it to heaven?
– Don’t eat that under pain of sin.
– Wear that under pain of sin.
THEREFORE: WE WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. NO MATTER WHAT WE DID.
By the time I got to college, I was tired of that God they gave me. Oh! I was a believer in Jesus Christ; however, I didn’t know him. I was scared of him because he and that, ”God the Father Guy,” were out to get me.
LOL! GOD’S SENSE OF HUMOR…THEN HE FOUND ME. Read my book; The Erstwhile Acorn.
I was “Enough!” Oh happy day! The Book of Romans taught me that I was righteous through Faith…..and God began to soak my mind with truth and wisdom.
For those of you who are “Baby Christians,”build your relationship with him. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Legalism and rules, do not give you salvation; it is strictly a relationship with Jesus as Lord and Savior.
I praise you, Father, as I drink my my Cup of Fancy, cuddled in my blanket, upon your lap. You are my Father, who loves me unconditionally. I am enough.
Prov. 31:10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
Eph. 4:1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
Romans 3:22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
