Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.  (Romans 8:1-2)

Oh, Beloved, if you and I could just wrap our hearts around this.

You are not condemned.

You should be—of course you should be.  Me, too.  There aren’t enough digital pages in all of cyberspace to catalogue my sins.  I am wretched, top to bottom, inside and out.  I know that I am made in the image of God, but some days that image is so blurred…I deserve nothing but wrath and scorn and disgust and condemnation.

BUT I am not condemned.

You are not condemned.

We are free.

Realize that.  Rest in that.  Rejoice in that.

Now, Beloved, what will you do with your freedom today?
