Deceived.
Poisoned food. Dirty water.
I thought pursuing Him was a checklist.
I didn't know . . .
. . . that He loves me.
I didn't know that He wants me.
I didn't know that I can have a relationship with Him.
Suspicious. Afraid of poison. dirty water . . . unaware that I was already consuming it.
. . . refused to eat Bread of Life or drink Living Water.
I needed the Gospel.
So . . .
He pursued. He loved.
answered misguided prayers. worked for my good. sent people.
They told me about a God who loves me. Who chose me. And who is happy He did.
They told me about a Savior who died for me while I was lost in my sin. He died for me while I was lying, cheating, immoral . . . hammering nails into His flesh.
They showed me how to stop hammering the nails into His flesh and start nailing my sins there instead.
They. belong. there.
Stopped eating poison, drinking dirty water.
True Food. Living Water.
Recovering Spiritual body. No longer emaciated. Full. Beautiful. Thriving. Eyes full of hope. Lips quenched, tell the good news.
Stop drinking Satan's poison! Your spiritual stomach shouldn't be distended. Body emaciated or lips parched. There's a God who loves you, a Savior who died for you.
Stop nailing him to the cross!
Your sin belongs there.
You can recover. Full. Beautiful. Thriving. Eyes full of hope. Lips quenched, YOU tell the Good News!
