September 23 Devotional

Dear Friends,
I love this time of year when we begin to say “goodbye” to our intense Texas summer and “hello” Fall!  It’s amazing to see what a little relief from the heat can do to everyone’s general disposition.  There’s a little more pep in everyone’s step and a lightness in the air.  Spiritually, this is how Christ wants us to walk with Him.  He wanted us to not be burned with the guilt of sin and the fear of death.  He wanted this so badly for us, that He gave his very life for us to have the privilege of walking in the light of His love and grace.  So, when you feel tempted to have a “pity party” or to beat yourself up over something you did or said, ask for forgiveness, repent and then stand up tall as a forgiven soldier of Christ.  Be blessed friends.  Love and Hugs, Scott

Walk With Me in the freedom of forgiveness.  The path we follow together is sometimes steep and slippery.  If you carry a burden of guilt on your back, you are more likely to stumble and fall.  At your request, I will remove the heavy load from you and bury it at the foot of the cross.  When I unburden you, you are undeniably free!  Stand up  straight and tall in My Presence, so that no one  can place more burdens on your back.  Look into My Face and feel the warmth of My Love-Light shining upon you.  It is this unconditional Love that frees you from both fears and sins.  Spend time basking in the Light of My Presence.  As you come to know Me more and more intimately, you grow increasingly free.

Psalm 69:19  19 You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; all my enemies are before you.

1 John 1:7-9
 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.8If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 4:18 18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
