GOD's Got my weakness covered


Yaayyy! ain't that something..now i don't have to go around feeling all guilty and condenmed.

Righteousness is tied to developing confidence in God, It is not a function of following a set of rules and regulations which leads to frustration, aggravation and disappointment.

Genuine righteousness can only be received as a gift from God through believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
Now that i am armed with this truth, I don't have to constantly try to do good just for the sake of measuring up and winning God's approval.I understand now that i should give myself room to be weak...(Sounds silly right!), but its the truth..i am but human.The truth lies in me being able to get up everyday to do the best i can.When i then make a mistake, I 'fess up to God and He'll take care of it.

The Bible says and i quote, When You and I..."Freely admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, God is faithful and just(true to His nature and promises), He will forgive our sins(dismiss our lawlessness) and (continously) cleanse us from all unrighteousness(everything not in conformity to His will in purpose,thought and action) - 1 John 1:9

Now abeg oh, i am not saying we take our sins lightly.That is far from the truth.We should have genuine sorrow over our sins, but not remain there.

God knew my weakness, He knew every mistake i was going to make before i made them, yet still approved of me...Reference - Jeremiah 1:5
Typo example, a pregnant woman knows before the baby is born that she's going to have a lot of dirty,stinking daipers to change,and clean a lot of mess the baby is going to make.Yet, she longs to see the baby brought forth in to the family and experience the joy that comes from watching the baby grow and mature. This is the same with our relationship with God. We are His.

The point being made here is that You and I are not a surprise to God.Our weakness undoubtedly understandable, He doesn't want us to be afraid or feel condemned by them.He wants our fault to motivate us to lean on Him for help and not putting confidence in our own ability to perform perfectly.

Indeed,He's got me covered, what about you?
