Get off the scale; you’re no bigger than me!


I get so irritated by this “earning God’s grace” factor. Jesus died on the cross and eternal life is free… a FREE gift! "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8

“O my gosh, look at her she sinned, I think I am going to tell God on her…”

WOW, really people sin? I can’t believe it! I mean come on really? What is with people now days? It’s like we have to take a step back and remember our master and our creator, who sent his one and only son to die for that beer in your hand, or that weed you smoke, or that cigarette you enjoy.

So, the question is really how close to God do you want to be? The contamination we put in our bodies, is much like the contamination we put in our soul when we put something before our Lord. God knows your heart, and He made you before you were even born, so maybe He is not asking you to give up all your earthly desires, maybe He is asking you to simply put Him FIRST in your life, and love Him, and ask Him to be your leader. Maybe He just wants a little bit of FULL SURRENDER to Him so he can work in you.

Alcoholics

Workaholics

Shopaholics

Blogaholics :)

Drug addicts

Text addicts

We are all guilty of some sort of addiction! And Jesus died for us all and loves us all the same. “… God shows no personal favoritism to any man ….”(Galatians 2:6) and what he does for one he will do for another!

God never has expected perfection from us, if He did why would Jesus have suffered for us?

Get real and be honest with yourself…. What is the barrier that is between you and God? What are you allowing Satan to use in your life to pull you down? What is holding you back from having the most intimate relationship with God that you could ever desire?

What do you enjoy doing more than loving Him?

SIN IS SIN and we all got it, so get off the scale and quit weighing your neighbors sin cuz we all have the same virus!

Matthew 7 1-5 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."
