Have you ever been inspired by something? Maybe a great speech, or a seminar you attended, or even a song that really hit you in your core? Maybe whatever it was actually got you to think that something in your life might actually change for the better? Because sometimes lets face it, we need that hope don’t we?
I found myself unexpectedly inspired by a song recently that I want to share with you the main idea in this post because I think it matters to all us as we continue to navigate our lives. You see, some of us find ourselves going back and forth from trying to be good person and then failing miserably. As a result, when we try to get back to God, we feel like we are on the edge of a cliff and we cant get back…we have gone to far and we are going to fall over…which brings me to point of my post and the point of the song…
No matter what path you have been on or may still be on…
No matter what has happened in your past that you are ashamed of…
No matter if you have experienced failure, disappointment, unhappiness or you just cant overcome what is keeping you down…
I want to point out one thing to you that you may have forgotten along your way.
God has and amazing grace, just for you, and as a result of what Christ did…
THE CROSS HAS MADE YOU FLAWLESS…
Here is what is important to remember; the reality of this part is that we come to God looking kind of filthy because we live down here is this world full of sin (I cant imagine what that actually looks like from God’s perspective). Without the cross, I don’t think God could recognize some of us because we are so covered in the stuff. But that isn’t the end of this story because all of us have grace, which means we (YOU) can approach Him and through the cross, He can see you are Flawless.
I don’t care what you have done…that’s between you and Him but I do know that because of His grace extended…and His righteousness wrapped around you…
You, YES YOU, are Flawless…
Guys, I get this is a very simple message but I also know we can all lose our way and forget even the simple things God has given to us. I believe there is no such thing as hopelessness to someone who recognizes what has been done for him on the cross…why? Because being right with God and being flawless before Him…there is truly no greater place any person can be and that my friend is the greatest hope anyone could ever experience.
Until next time guys…
Enjoy, Flawless, by MercyMe
