My best friend died just over 2 years ago shortly after giving birth to her ninth child. We had an issue that was unresolved between the two of us when Jesus took her home. Amist all the pain and heartache of loosing her, I was dealing with the guilt of our unresolved issue. But, I finally came to realize that that guilt was only weighing me down and so not what Jesus was calling me to carry. So, I gave it to Him. There are still times I want to pick it back up, but I remember how heavy that "suitcase" was to carry around for so long. I don't want it back and I know Jesus doesn't want me to take it back.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great thoughts Nat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04783304767699830781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5234804679522351515.post-52353598418801120212008-06-10T20:18:00.000-05:002008-06-10T20:18:00.000-05:00I like this one!!

It's one of my alltime favorites. Papa led me to write about rest on my blog a couple of days ago to. Seems like I am seeing that word in several different places. I love when He does that.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5234804679522351515.post-61608142696315587772008-06-10T16:32:00.000-05:002008-06-10T16:32:00.000-05:00I wonder why we can't seem to let ourselves off th...I wonder why we can't seem to let ourselves off the hook, but Christ does?<BR/><BR/>I spent many years living a guilt-centered life. It just about sucked me dry.<BR/><BR/>Thank God He is renewing my mind to learn that guilt is never His way... <BR/><BR/>I heard a speaker say once that when Jesus has to show us our sin, He takes us by the hand and leads us to the cross where grace, mercy and love wash them all away. Even seeing our sin is covered in love. He shows us our sin, not really to convict us but to restore us. He doesn't want us to feel bad, he just wants us to let Him change us. Think about it. How many of us really want our children to feel bad about their sins. Don't we really just want restoration and change?<BR/><BR/>I am so grateful that Papa continues to renew my mind.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing. How many days a week does the study go? I don't want to miss any. I'll just add you to my sidebar where I can check it every day.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>JuileJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5234804679522351515.post-14909058674940013892008-06-10T15:52:00.000-05:002008-06-10T15:52:00.000-05:00I have learned as I have gotten older that living ...I have learned as I have gotten older that living for Jesus is about not having guilt. When I have guilt that is the work of the devil and we know he is always on the prowl. When I begin to feel that baggage pulling on me...I am on my knees.<BR/><BR/>thanks so much for a wonderful post.<BR/><BR/>blessingsTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993493344172206879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5234804679522351515.post-69934352272334386292008-06-10T10:38:00.000-05:002008-06-10T10:38:00.000-05:00Wow, that is one suitcase I actually do not carry ...Wow, that is one suitcase I actually do not carry around. Guilt has not been an issue for me, but let me tell you I've got plenty of others. So I'm sure the rest of the baggage has my name all over it. A long time ago I learned that guilt was a tool of the devil. Now, conviction that is from the Holy Spirit.<BR/><BR/>Love the way you write and I'm looking forward to learning more???

How fun is that???<BR/><BR/>Another one I wrote that goes along here is Psalm 119:45 "I walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts." I LOVE that! HIS precepts, not OURS. <BR/><BR/>His yoke is EASY.deleisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336834580759458236noreply@blogger.com
