When you give your heart to the Lord, truly give Him your heart, your sins are forgiven. Your old self is washed away by the blood of the Lamb. Once you have been cleansed, why do you want to go back to your old self? Once you understand how He suffered for YOU, you don't want to be a part of this world. You want to do anything and everything to bring Him glory, honor, and praise.
As we enter this special time, I want you to realize the love Jesus has for YOU. How He suffered, was beaten to death for YOUR sins. I don't think any of us could have done what He did for generations and generations to come. I can't even comprehend that love He has for me.
Since He gave His life for me, I think the very least I can do....is do my very best to live my life without sin. I know it won't be easy but considering He chose death for MY sins, I should be able to handle the small things in my life.
Take time this week to reflect on the pain that Jesus endured and I am asking you to give your heart to Him. He can cleanse you and make you free again. It will be the best choice you will ever make in your life.
