"...once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act."
Proverbs 24:12

A moment to Breathe, day 9.

"For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are sanctified." ~Hebrews 10:14

In today's reading by Sarah Mae I was reminded that Jesus isn't waiting for me to have everything figured out and together.  He isn't waiting for me to say the right words or do something to earn my worth.  He's waiting for me to look to him Him and trust him.  It is in my deepest weakness and messes that I can grow and mature when I rely on Jesus strength. 

And right now, in the mess, He calls me loved, comforted, healed and victorious.  The Holy Spirit is at work in and through me.  I am not looking back at who I was or thought I was.  My failures, mistakes and the lies I believed don't hold me back.  Through the redeeming blood of Jesus I have been sanctified.  I am washed clean.  I am free.  And so I breathe it in.  My eyes are on Jesus and I never want to look away from the love in His gaze.
