Washed Clean!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

What did these particular verses tell me today.... Exactly what I needed to be reminded of... yet again :-)

It's time to stop thinking of myself in the terms of who I was, and start thinking about myself in the terms of how God sees me... I AM WASHED CLEAN!!!! I think Satan tries everyday to deceive us, to make us believe the worst about ourselves. He wants us to relive each and every mistake we have ever made, to focus on our past, which can make us sick with guilt and shame, instead of focusing on our future that is secure in God's hand and full of peace and grace and never ending love.

I am so thankful for God's word, his love letter if you will, that reminds me every time I read it that I am precious in the eyes of God.

Thank you all for your kind words. It is great being apart of such a wonderful family. The journey is so much better when you have friend along for the drive... Shelley, Franky, I don't tell you enough but I love you guys and thank God that He has put you in my life.

Psalm 119:114
"You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word."
