Word for Wednesday

Have you ever been in bondage over something? Most of us would say "no" right off the bat and not give it another thought, however, I would say that each and every one of us has been in bondage to one type of sin or another in our life. The Bible clearly states that "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23; but is there a sin that grabs at you and you look around and see your brothers and sisters and think they don't seem to struggle and wonder why that is?

My sisters, I want to tell you, we each struggle with something. All of us. I once had a friend tell me something I will never forget. She said some people's sin is apparent and everyone can see it while other's sin is hidden and people can't see it but it is there just the same. And it's a struggle for both people. The person whose sin is "out there" for people to see feels unwelcomed or unworthy to be at church and scared to say they have stumbled again, while the person's sin whose is hidden is scared to death of being caught for appearance sake.

My scripture verse today is John 8:32 "And the truth shall set you free". Freedom. Being washed clean is the most wonderful feeling. Burdens lifted...glorious! And when the King says you are forgiven...you are forgiven indeed. How do you get there 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness".

I really was so happy about the women's blog conference and I believe the Lord will bring us all together again soon. And each time I think of it, I always think of this song. I don't know why but it is a repetitive theme in my brain. So I'm going to play it today even though it's supposed to be scripture only today. Bear with me. I think this is the most I've written in quite some time.








God bless you.........ready to go down to the river and pray?? Let's go!!!
