CPC DAILY DEVOTION SORT IT OUT: BELIEVE YOURE FORGIVEN Saturday 2nd November 2013 ...Forgive whatever grievances... Colossians 3:13 NIV The Christian walk isnt easy. So many of us keep going with a slight spiritual limp, a pocketful of guilt and a backpack of unworthiness and yesterdays sins. And I will remember your sins no more, we read in the Bible. But have you ever heard the little ghost whispering from the cupboard? Ah, yes, but what about that time you exploded in anger? You embarrassed God that time... As far is the east is from the west, so He has removed our transgressions from us, we might sing in worship time. But the ghost sitting in the row behind us bends forward to say, He removes other peoples sins. But He shouldnt have to with you. He really expects more of you. You should know better... When were asked to share something up the front, we hear a whisper accusing us of hypocrisy. And if we ever think of becoming a missionary, the ghost seems to choke on its caramel latté: You! A missionary?! Its as though we kinda believe God forgives us and remembers our sins no more, and we kinda dont. The waspish voice of the whispering ghost seems true, too. This is a sure-fire way to lead a life of keeping your head down, and never rising above your failures and doubts. If the message of the Cross seems a little too far-fetched at times - grace for you, yes you! - then confess your mess to God. Now try praying as if God really has no memory of it. Start praising, praying and living like you really have nothing to worry about!
