As I thought about what I would blog, I kept thinking about judgement and God’s love.
Most Christians know God loves them, but do we really understand? The God of the Universe, the Alpha, Omega loves us. That should always have a wow factor. I believe that one of the biggest problems in today’s world is that people don’t stay amazed by God.
We are all sinners and yet God loves us just the way we are.
If God is okay with us, then we should be okay with ourselves. A simple concept yes, but yet judgement is all around us, we judge each other and we judge ourselves. There is nothing wrong with have expectations of yourself, but the guilt associated with self-judgement or the judgement of others is a useless emotion that is unnecessary in a Christian life. Once you ask forgiveness, it’s done. Receive it and move on.
Mark Driscoll’s facebook status today was “God himself...does not propose to judge a man until his life is over. Why should you and I?” - Samuel Johnson.
As we grow in our walk with God, I believe it’s important never to loose sight of how amazing it is that he loves us as we are. Say it out loud GOD LOVES ME! As my blogger name is gospel chick, I leave you with one of my favorite hymns done gospel style, sung by my favorite local gospel group The Springvale Boys. Enjoy.
