Rejection

March 26, 2008 – Wednesday

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

Isaiah 53:3

Lord, it was for me that You were despised and rejected. Search my heart and show me if today I am part of that rejection. Amen.

Wow! Take my breath away Lord Jesus! I need a moment…

In my tiny little human mind – I think that I am living in Christ – I realize that I sin and I confess and repent from those that I actually recall. There are many other actions and sins that I don’t recognize thus I don’t confess them. I am having trouble comprehending having God reveal all the sins and mistakes that I make on this day that placed Christ on that Cross. I don’t know if my heart could take it. We are talking about the stupid little stuff that we just assume others will forgive us for – but in actuality those actions are not furthering God’s kingdom or glorifying His name or helping me walk in His light. Father, I am in need of Your mercy!! Your love!! Your forgiveness!! Your grace!! In Jesus Holy and Precious Name. Amen.
