Sin Forgiven

[Rev. Alfred K. Carter]

This week I read through Leviticus again. I can't tell you how many times I have read through this book, either in daily readings or as part of a read through the Bible program.
I usually don't get much of a lift from reading through these lines: one, because it is so heavy with laws that I can in no way fulfill ,and two, I get bored by the repeat of all the detail.
This time was very different. As I finished my reading of Leviticus I became completely overwhelmed by my insufficiency to complete all these requirements. I also saw vividly how very guilty I am in the face of God's law.
I knelt in front of my couch and wept as I prayed. God came to me at that moment when I felt such condemnation and reminded me that, even though I was so convincingly guilty I was declared innocent through the sufferings and resurrection of my LORD.
I don't deserve to be free from sins curse, but I am.
I don't merit being a spiritual leader of others, but that is what He called me to be.
I qualify for the eternal death penalty, but He has given me life everlasting.

Thanks for sharing that amazing event. As a pastor's wife, I hear the same thing from my husband. God is using you, my friend, in ways that you cannot even imagine. You sound like you have a very humble, broken spirit and that is something that the Lord loves because it means we rely on Him for our strength. God Bless You as you minister to your flock!
