One Hot Mess!
"If we are faithless, He remains
faithful; He cannot deny Himself."
2 Timothy 2:
13
A truck driver in Memphis, Tennessee, hit a retaining
wall and crashed, spilling its load of Bertolli
alfredo
sauce. The road was closed as workers cleaned up
the sticky, highcalorie sauce and the thousands
of
broken glass jars.
We all make messes! As when you dropped
the pizza on the kitchen floor? How about the
time the garbage bag broke before you got it
into the bin? Or, the moment you opened your
mouth and said something impulsively?
Sometimes we make a mess spiritually—yielding
to temptation, neglecting our devotions, losing our
temper, engaging in a habit we know is displeasing
to our God. We must guard our heart carefully and
repent of sins promptly.
We must remember that God doesn’t stop loving
us when we mess up. At times we may think that
God’s love for us stops when we sin. That’s not
true. God compassionately loves us in spite of
our sin.
Thank Him today for His
compassion and love, and
seek to please Him always.
"No matter what storm you face,
you
need to know that God loves
you. He has not abandoned you."
