“When Abram was ninety years old and nine the Lord appeared
unto Abram and said unto him, I am the Almighty God, walk before me and be thou
perfect.” (Genesis 17:1)
Few of us are Abraham and have such an important role to
play in the history or God with his people on this earth as he did, but if we work
at becoming as Christ-like as we can, we will be a happy people. Am I crazy or
what? Another name for Christ is Man of Sorrow. Is that happiness? Well, yes it
is. When the choices are the everlasting gulf of misery which is prepared to
engulf the wicked or living with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ which would
you choose?
Some would say the first because it’s too hard to change, or
that they have done such horrible things that there is no way they could repent,
or that the gulf of misery is the only fitting place for them. To this I reply
Satan is the one that wants you to live with your guilt and shame whatever it
is. We have all been there one way or another to some degree or another. All I can
tell you is that repentance is between you and God, but for me, feeling
forgiven, clean and loved is far better that the pain of unrepentant mistakes.
You never know until you try.
