Hebrews 4:15

Posted on by Just broken

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are–yet was without sin.

Here’s a difference to think about. Jesus knew no sin. How freaky is that? How extra-ordinary? How unlike us, utterly unlike us.

Yet He knew sin, he knew temptation, more than we could ever imagine. Jesus could say no. He knows the consequence too. What a gift it would be to not have sin in our life.

Yet, he knows the challenges we face. He knows the temptations. He can give us strength, but can’t give us enough to always say no. He offers salvation though.

If you can’t say no to sin, say yes to forgiveness and more strength than you have now.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
