Praise God!!!<BR/>And I am so glad that you are letting Him forgive you. <BR/>It is so hard for me too. I find I hold myself to such a higher standard than He does... so I find it hard to forgive myself, and accept His.<BR/>I am so proud of you for the work you have done; and for allowing us to see the changes God has made. Thank you for being open enough to do that!<BR/>May God bless you mightily in this new freedom!<BR/>Love in Him,<BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-58136215936887814782008-11-12T10:38:00.000-08:002008-11-12T10:38:00.000-08:00Yes!!

Often times I feel as though I sin more now than I used to. I believe that is, in part, because I am more fully aware of God's character and how He is trying to change me."<BR/><BR/>Oh, my.

Jesus describes the inhabitants of heaven as "They will walk with me and wear white clothes, because they are worthy." (Rev. 3:4) The elders are described as "Around the throne there were..twenty-four elders..they were dressed in white and had golden crowns." (Rev. 4:4) All are dressed in white. But "He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God." (Rev. 19:13)<BR/>His robe is not white, his cloak is not spotless, his garment is dipped in blood, while ours are white. Why? Paul says "He changed places with us."

Taking the mask or armor or concealer off has only revealed the truth and we all know that scripture tells us that the truth will set us free!"<BR/><BR/>Until we uncover the truth, we live in lies. Until we understand our flaws, Satan has us trapped in that circle of trying to be, trying to be, trying to be.<BR/><BR/>Freedom. It is some of the best of what our Christ has to offer on this side of Heaven!<BR/><BR/>AND, I gotta say, you look awfully CUTE in that baseball cap!

You are right that it's more about God convicting us and showing us our sin. The closer we walk with Jesus, the more in tune we are with His character and how much unlike His character we are. We see what/who we want to be like and at the same time, God gently tugs at our hearts of the things we should not do, stop doing, or start doing. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post. So glad to see the growth in you through this study.Paula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-7146904944526401732008-11-11T07:16:00.000-08:002008-11-11T07:16:00.000-08:00Cindy I have SO enjoyed seeing God work in your li...Cindy I have SO enjoyed seeing God work in your life over the past few weeks.
