Found wanting...........

Its true. We aren't worthy. We can want to be. We can try to be. But we will never make it. We are sinners. All of us. No one better than another. That is the beauty of Jesus. He sacrificed himself so that we don't have to be worthy or perfect.

The problem is, as people, it is hard for us to truly accept this. Not that Jesus sacrificed himself, but that he accepts us as we are. We have trouble doing it for others, so we just can't see how Jesus can so freely do it for us. Especially considering the many, many times we let Jesus down compared to the many, many times he has provided for each of us. But he does. So when we try and do something we feel led by God to do, we need to ignore our past mistakes. Once you ask for forgiveness, he doesn't care about them. He doesn't remember they exist.

The more we realize we aren't worthy of Jesus, the better we can serve the Lord. When others see and understand that you aren't worthy of God, yet he loves you beyond measure, they will understand the true Jesus. So get out there, be yourself, and follow the path God has set for you. No, you aren't worthy of God. But he wants you to serve him. He wants you to know that your imperfections make you a great witness to those just like you (and that is all of us).

So. What are you waiting for?
