Honestly, as hard as it is to admit, sin is sin, there's no greater sin than the other.
So no one has the right to feel holier or better than any other person because they commit different sins. "I'm not a fornicator, I don't steal, oh yeah, I just back bite and lie a little sometimes". RIGHT!!!! You know you can sin either in thoughts, words or deed right?! Hmmmmm!!!! Those sinful thoughts don't make you any less a sinner cos it's in your head! Sad but true!!!
I'm sure you'll agree with me that there's this one struggle we all have as Christians. Trying to stand right with Christ all through our journey on this earth!! The struggle is real yo!! Your struggle might be different from mine. You might even find it as trivial in comparison to yours. But it all boils down to one single fact!!! We are all humans, born sinners, saved by the blood on the cross of cavalry; in need of continuous saving from the little foxes in this earthly entity!!!
So cheer up folks!! There's no need to berate yourself or compare yourself to other earthly beings!! Trust me, you are not alone!! Except of course, you are somewhere out there sitting on your high horse believing you are 100% a saint because your sins are less obvious than others. Then my friend; you need even more saving than I thought!!!! The good news though is this, for this struggle; JESUS is always the answer!! Ask for help!!
This brings me to our song for the week. It's titled "in the light" by DC Talk. Awesome lyrics, awesome tune, "FABTASTIC" song. I can carry on hyping the song, but I'll let the lyrics speak for itself and speak to you. So find the lyrics below and the song as well. Feel free to sing along!! ( the lyrics can be turned into prayers #justsaying#)
Cheers!!!
"In The Light"
(originally by Charlie Peacock)
(1, 2, 3)
I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from You
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do
What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
[chorus]
I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light
The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control
Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
[repeat chorus]
Honesty becomes me
(There's nothing left to lose)
The secrets that did run me
(In Your presence are defused)
Pride has no position
(And riches have no worth)
The fame that once did cover me
(Has been sentenced to this Earth)
Has been sentenced to this Earth
Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
[repeat chorus 2x]
(There's no other place that I want to be)
(No other place that I can see)
(A place to be that's just right)
(Someday I'm gonna be in the Light)
(You are in the Light)
(That's where I need to be)
(That's right where I need to be)
