The good news is so much better than we could have ever dreamed. One of the things that trips us up in our pursuit of God is our emotions. Our emotions are diseased and flawed because of the consequences of man’s fall. We all view life through the grid of our emotions, which causes us to trip up. Most people live their lives with a feeling of unworthiness and a sense that God is offended with them. Once and for all, we must settle the fact that God is not offended with us!! He settled that on the cross. He cancelled out our debts and set us free from the law of sin and death. He liberated us from the voice of condemnation and placed us in Himself. As a gift, He gave us His righteousness and seated us with Himself in the heavens surrounded by the glory of God. He threw the gate wide open and rolled out the welcome mat.
Now that we know that we are loved and spotless before Him, we can run to His throne for help with our crazy, hurt, and sick emotions. We can go boldly to Him with our lust, greed, anger, bitterness, fear or whatever else with which we struggle, and say, “Dad, we need help.” In that place, He will surround us with His glory – His love and His grace – and will transform our souls – our mind, will, and emotions.
He came to give us abundant life!! He came to give us joy unspeakable and full of Glory!!
