Jim & I have been married for almost 6 months now - this Friday, Aug 10th.  We also just celebrated one year ago that we met (on Aug 3rd).  In the last year, my life has changed DRAMATICALLY.  In this 6 months of marriage I have seen and experienced many changes in my spiritual life.  This is thanks to God for putting a man such as Jim in my life.

 

I have done more outside ministry (coffee houses, etc) than I ever thought I would (actually, I NEVER thought I'd do stuff like this!) and although out of my little comfort zone, I am enjoying the personal growth and blessing that comes with being obedient to God's leading.  I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams!! 

     When Jesus said "Father, forgive them...they don't know what they are doing...", He opened the door to us to receive every possible blessing. Those were the most powerful words spoken since the words "Let there be....".

     Forgiveness rooted in the work of the cross means that there is no nook or cranny of sin that retains any power.

     It means that no sin is worse than any other in the eyes of God.

     It means that no infirmity can resist healing, and no condemnation can resist mercy.

     It means that God is no respecter of persons, and His grace is absolutely, 100%, infallibly universal.

     It means that you do not have any obligation, and in fact you have no right, to judge your own sin as being greater than any one else's.

 

So what did you find at the cross?
