There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus- Romans 8

Have you felt that your sins are too many to be forgiven ? Are your sins from the past hounding you ? Then let me introduce you to the verse which says - ‘there is therefore now no condemnation if you are in Christ’ . This means what ever be the nature of your sins , Christ will forgive you . Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow- Isaiah 1:18

In the Bible we see the passage where a multitude of people were waiting to stone an adulteress. Jesus did not preach a long sermon to her and remind her of her sins and all that she had done . He saw her heart which was in anguish and shame and tells her that her sins are forgiven and that she should sin no more [ John 8 ]

Likewise the Samaritan woman at the well had a life changing experience [John 4]. Jesus being God knew her past and the life she had led but He forgave her and spoke goodness into her life . She went back home feeling blessed and overcame every guilt and sin from her past. She testified to her neighbours and friends and was instrumental in evangelising a whole town. She can be called the “ first woman  evangelist “. When she met our saviour she walked free from her past to new beginnings! 

However being a Christian does not give us the license to sin but demands that we be more like Jesus each day. 

Though I knew very well that I am forgiven of all the sins I had committed in my life , the enemy constantly reminded me of my sins. This became a stumbling block in my spiritual walk . 

One night while sleeping I had a dream of God walking with me in a beautiful garden . He told me that He loves me and He holds none of my sins against me . I woke up and sensed such peace and calmness. I was wondering about the dream when a dear friend of mine who was traveling and in Sweden messaged me . She was checking on me and she mentioned that she has a dream of me having a close walk with God . This was just a confirmation to the dream i had. I could sense a feel of total freedom.

Isn't our God amazing ! 

While dying on the cross Jesus forgave and He still forgives and nothing can separate us from the Love which we have in Christ Jesus !

The Watch Repairer

Image
Couple of my watches required battery replacement …. but oufff the price in this region to change the battery can be more expensive than buying a new watch 🫠 However we figured out the place where we could get original batteries at half price and with a guarantee for 2 years .. woooo that was amazing .  The watch repairer was a very unassuming person who took his tools and carefully opened the side of the watch where the battery had to be replaced.  And boy the insides of the watch looked so amazing … intricately done and it needed someone with precision and understanding to get the watch working again . He also cleaned the inside and reset the time, date and in few minutes my watch was working and looked as good as new with a little bit of cleanup too in the inside and outside !! This got me thinking !! We have been made so wonderfully and crafted so intricately in the inside. When we come to the end of our resources or feel depleted within, come to the Maker. He calls us to draw fro

I AM NEW

Image
I was in a bit of a hurry when I went to the local supermarket last week. The lady who was supposed to help me with packing the condiments & dips seemed to be from another planet . She looked lost , confused and irritable. I did not have much time to be able to deal with her mood swings.  However something caught my eye. There was a badge this lady was adorning which said “ I am new here". Well that explained it all !!! She was not able to understand things well and might still been trying to navigate her way through.  Suddenly my perspective changed and there was a paradigm shift.  I became more patient and kind towards her in my approach. I bought the things on the list and left the place wishing her all best in her new role ✨!!  I then thought to myself- wish I had a badge on me which would read  “ a sinner , saved by grace alone”, or “ bear with me as I am not perfect “, or “ extend me grace when I fall ” or “ forgive me, I do make mistakes”  May be if I had them on, thing

What’s your trigger

Image
  When our little dachshund Coffee, was tiny and when we all had to step out , we had to keep her closed in the kitchen . The kitchen has three doors , so it was a bit of challenge to keep her in and have the doors  closed as she would dash out from the other. So we had to strategically close two doors and leave her in and shut the door on her. This was done only for three months period as we then had a help who became available full time. It is now four years and Coffee is also four + , but whenever a door is shut, specially the kitchen door she panics and gets fearful with the thought of being closed up again !! Most of us also get triggered when we are reminded of an event or situation in the past and we feel overwhelmed and fear takes over . It probably may be something we went through as a child or even in our growing up years or even as an adult .  Are we then called to be in that place of fear and anxiety and not move ahead in life ? The answer is NO ! As believers we have been
