Bad Apple

'You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.'
I believe this is written for young believers. To show us how MUCH larger our God is than the troubles of this world. Greater than the deceiver, the liar and destroyer. Greater than the lie that - its ok to do what u wanna. NO! It is not ok! We are called to be obedient to God's commandments and His word! How can we even begin to think that what we are going through is a surprise to God? I'm sure the disciples must have thought God was super surprised when Jesus was crucified! They must have thought He was looking the other way the day THAT happened. And yet, if we believe what is written in Holy Scripture, then it tells us that God called us by name before He created the Universe! He knew what you were up to and gonna get up to right from before the start of the start and He decided to love you and call you anyway! He decided that even in your vrottest state, you were still worth the life of His only Son! How great is the love that chooses that?! Knowing ALL the disgusting, embarrasing, dirty rotten vrot things that NOBODY else knows. He knows! He knows the deepest part of the darkest heart. And YET, we are called to love Him, because HE LOVED US FIRST. Now if that truth has not yet sunk into your Spirit, then maybe ur not as vrot as me. Maybe I have more to be forgiven for and so receive greater grace. But HE promises me, that HIS grace is sufficient for me. No matter what, He has enough for me. My God, My God. Why have you NOT forsaken me? Thank you Jesus. I owe you everything. My very breath, my existence, my ALL. I offer it all to you. I give it to you. I committ ALL I am and ALL I have to You Jesus. Who am I without you? NOBODY. Who am I in You? I am more than an overcomer. I am a little child, but I AM an overcomer, because greater is He that is in me, than he who is in the world. Amen. Thank YOU HOLY SPIRIT.
