How many of us have had some bad thing happen and asked ‘what did I do to deserve this’? Well, the answer is plenty. Romans says we have all sinned, and the wages of sin is death. If we were to reap what we sowed, we would be sick, depressed and confused all our short miserable lives, then we would go to hell.
Isn’t it wonderful that God is so rich in mercy that He sent Jesus to reap all that death and curse for us so we can live a long, peaceful and blessed life and then go to heaven?! Thank God for His mercy! God is just and fair. He will not pervert justice. Our sins had to be punished. Jesus took all our punishment so we can be blessed by God in every way. I am determined to not let it go to waste; how about you? Nothing Jesus paid for will be wasted in my life, as much as I can, with God’s help! I feel like I owe Him that gratification, knowing that when I am blessed it makes him look good to the world and maybe some will join the family. Then He will have the pleasure of reaping what they sowed, too! Boy, He sure loves us!
I love you all,
healed by His stripes,
Nancy
