"...He learned obedience from what he suffered, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him."- Hebrews 5:8-9

The strings of sin pull at my heart,and for some reason I follow.
Why can I not hold on to Christ's handsthat surround my heart?
anger,
covetousness,
crime,
demerit,
disobedience,
envy,
evil-doing,
gluttony,
guilt,
immorality,
imperfection,
iniquity,
lust,
offence,
pride,
tort,
transgression,
ungodliness,
unrighteousness,
vice,
violation,
wickedness,
wrongdoing.
There is hope!
GRACE!
But lest us not forget, atonement.
On a cross he bled and died, re-paid our debt,faced wrath of God our Savior!
Our Jesus made it feasible for a holyGod to be propitious, our scapegoat even though we are ugly, horrid, guilty sinners.
Oh, how great our Savior is,
so draw near to him and let him take a hold of your heart,
and though we will falter
as Satan pulls sins strings,
bring yourself back on hands and knees,
to be forgiven and wrapped in Christs arms again.
Live a real, vital, dynamic melding with our Lord that is not abstract but true!
