IN JESUS NAME, I WILL NOT BE A WASTE

There is none without weakness, mistake, sin, or fault, but despite all the limiting things in your weakness, sin, or fault, the love of God for you is inexhaustible, unending, and ever-renewed every moment and every day. Though sin separates us from the love of God, it does not separate God from us. Even in your weakest moments in life, your most disappointing times, God’s love, care, and provisions are still active and asking you to look unto Him. God is not looking or asking for perfection in order to bless you, He is asking you to rely on and claim the perfection of Christ Jesus for your next moves in life and today. Relying on Christ’s perfection is not a license to continue in sin. He is not asking for your righteousness before opening the door of grace and blessings, He is asking that you claim the righteousness of Christ when you are before Him and before men. It is claiming what Christ has freely done and given to you that makes you sinless, faultless, acceptable, and righteous before God.

Even in your greatest weaknesses and sins, in Christ Jesus, you will not be a waste, God still love you even in your most painful and lonely moments; God still loves you even in the darkest of the night; even when no one is present to help you and you are you alone, when no one cares, show any concern, God is there with you showing His love. “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” Romans 5:8-9

Despite your thoughts, disappointments, frustrations, and indebtedness to God, to self, and others, God still loves you and through His love, you will be able to stand up and make a remarkable progress again despite the odds against you. You have come to hate yourself because of what is happening in your life, not for the wrongs or sins you know you have committed. These are acts that are beyond your control and you have turned it against yourself negatively and it is building an inner bitterness in you. God has not made you a waste and you will not be one. The bitterness of self is dragging your efforts and expectations behind in life. But God says you should stop hating yourself, but hate your sins. Stop the inner bitterness, God does not hate you, and will not hate you because of weaknesses, He only hates your sin, not you. To think that God hates you is a lie that you need to overcome now.

It will take your weaknesses and mistakes to fall and to fail, to have squabbles and frictions with people and institutions, it will take grace from our God to overcome to rise up again. That grace in His love through Christ is available for you today. You may have fallen a hundred times over, yet, He still loves you and will raise you up again. You may have slipped in words, thoughts, and actions a hundred times and over, yet God still loves you and give you the grace to get up and be on the path He had made to bless you. That same grace upon Paul is available for you now. In God’s love, in His grace, and in His power, you will not be a waste. “Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, insults, hardships,  persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. And God’s peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge the world, but that the world might find salvation, saved and be sound through Him” 2 Corinthians 12:6-10. Philippians 4:7, John 3:17. You are loved by God despite your pains, feelings of inadequacies, and shame, and by His amazing love and grace, you will overcome and rejoice and will not be a waste. For prayers Click here
