Devotional: When one tells of their sins through tears, then the listener who is sensitive to the SPIRIT of GOD…is moved to encourage. But what of those who come often, with the same sin AND not the same brokenness. Thank GOD that we are not so viewed in HIS eyes!! “For by grace you have been saved through faith….” HIS finished work and Love must be our focus and not our repeated failures lest our loathing of self drags others away from HIM! Amen and amen!

Self Focused Sin

Self loathing is a worthy act unless Obsession finds it. Then worthless such becomes because of Pride. Ah, yes! The Ego stains with force till every word – annoying… destroys Confessions’ humble cause until it dies. As such, abandon self denial till its voice is heard no more with brokenness unbound…because of HIM!

Thus, “Guilty!” pleas repeated soon exceed one’s praise of GOD… when all Attention’s light…is turned within! Speak little then of “Loathing” since – as flesh – we daily fall… yet our faith resides in CHRIST, our risen LORD! Let your speech then lift HIS NAME and not your multitude of stains… because our souls HE saved by Grace…and nothing more!

As HIS servant in your service,
