Confessions

Confession:

I break the speed limit.  A LOT.

I sit behind the wheel of a red rocket, and she all but necessitates that I drive her FAST.

When I first got her, there were bets being placed on how long it would take for me to get a ticket.  But so far, there have been no winners of said bet. 

I think I've learned how to push the limit...but not be excessive.  I know where the cops sit.  I drive the same route almost every day, and I know where I can lay the pedal down, and where I have to ease up.  So I haven't gotten a ticket, but I probably deserve that ticket.  Just being honest. 

Confession:
I break God's heart.  A LOT.
I was born with a sinful nature, and it all but necessitates that I live like the world.
I live in a fallen world with a sinful heart, but God sent a Savior to set me free from that sin.  And when I asked Him to come into my heart and change my life, He most certainly did!  But I still struggle.
I think I've learned how to push the limit...but not be excessive.  I know how to avoid the "major" sins.  I settle into my normal routine, and I know when I can get away with things, and when I need to clean up my act.  I do the things I don't want to do, and I don't do the things I do want to do.  I know I deserve that ticket to hell.  Just being honest.

Thank you, Jesus, that I can look to You to save me, and I don't have to depend on myself!!  This doesn't negate my responsibility to "obey the law", but I am most certainly thankful that I have Someone who stands in the gap for my shortcomings.

John 3:16-18 says it best:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."
