"Your List??? - There is None" - 09/01/14 - Ezekiel 18-19

"I won't keep a list of all the things he did wrong. He will live. 23 Do you think I take any pleasure in the death of wicked men and women? Isn't it My pleasure that they turn around, no longer living wrong but living right - really living? (18:22-23)


The flash of white caught my eye as the person exited the restroom. She was unaware of the white tail caught on the bottom of her shoe, following her. I caught up to her and quietly told her. Her face flushed as she quickly turned, head down and reentered the restroom.  When she came back, her eyes scanned the room and came to rest on me, sending me a silent thank- you. She was smiling and I smiled back.


Seems at times, we are all guilty of not checking our "list" at the door. satan puts his dollop of super glue on the list and we continue to live life with it trailing behind us. Or in front of us. Depending on the circumstances, of where our focus is.

Seems we forget about His Grace and Mercy.
How His Blood has cleansed us. Redeemed us.
No longer are we the sinner we once were, when in Him.
 
Why ever do we choose to carry this list with us when we don't have to? To cringe when others keep their own list of our sins?  All it does is cause us to be embarrassed. to doubt. to walk with our self weighed down in shame and doubt. It inhibits us from being the Warrior for Him that we are to be.

He has surrounded us with His Word. The Holy Spirit lives within and about us. His Family holds us accountable and affirms us in Love. Listen to His Truths.

They are being spoken to remind us to leave the list where it belongs.
Right there with the used TP.
