Worthy

Do you want to praise God but feel like something is holding you back?  Something like guilt?  Do you feel like you are not worthy of His love?  Is your body wasting away?

God knew us before He formed us in our mother’s womb.  He knew we would sin.  He knew we would turn out backs’ on Him.  God loves us so much that He created an out.

When I feel not worthy, it’s because of sin.  Sin brings me down.  God brings me up.  How do I get up?  It says in Psalm 32 of how David confessed his sins and the Lord forgave him.  That’s what I need to do.  Confess my sin.  When I confess my sin,  the doors to heaven are open.  The guilt is released.  The condemnation goes away.  That guilt is replaced with joy, and joy becomes strength.

The psalm goes on to say that the Lord will protect me from trouble, watch over me, and surround me with unfailing love.  Sounds like He really loves me.  But I must trust Him.  Take my eyes off of me and put them on Him.  Through Jesus Christ, we become worthy.  Shout for joy!
