He's Able to Help

Transparency - I've made some mistakes in my life. I haven't done a lot of things right. I've said hurtful things and I've had hurtful sayings come my way. I've lied, I've wronged folks and I've had my fair share of misunderstandings. I haven't always been grateful; had my bouts with conceit, jealousy and all kinds of shortcomings. BUT GOD...

God has known me before I was even born and He knew of my shortcomings, miss deeds and mess ups. Yet He still sent Jesus to "Put On" (this flesh) and to "Take On" (my sins) and to "Shut Down" (the power of sin in my life), so that I can stand today and say that I have been forgiven and that I AM A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD!

Today is a good day to know that the same applies to YOU!!

“Since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels He helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason He had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that He might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.” (Hebrews‬ ‭2:14-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

He became like us that He may be a merciful Priest. "I know what you're going through", Jesus says. "I was just like you, I never sinned - but I understand your struggle".

Isn't that something...Jesus understands our struggle. Talk to Him about what you are going through today, He really understands and has made a way out!
