There is therefore now condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not by the flesh, but by the Spirit. – Romans 8:1

I’ve been feeling convicted lately.

Convicted about certain things I say.

Convicted about certain attitudes that pop up now and then.

Convicted about the need to ALWAYS be aware of God’s sovereignty over EVERYTHING which is why I don’t need to understand everything, just trust God through Jesus.

Convicted about not drinking enough Coke Zero.

Ok… not the diet soda but certainly the overuse of sarcasm.

I am convicted by the Lord about these things and others.

Convicted, yes. But condemned? No way!

Those who follow Jesus, seeking Him first, are no longer under the curse of condemnation but inspired by God to change what He’s leading me to change.

Condemnation is not from God. He won’t tell you are a loser, or hopeless, or beyond help. Remember God is love.

We always have hope in Christ. He ALWAYS loves us with a love we cannot be separated from, a love eternal, a love none of us can fully comprehend but can fully trust in.

You are loved. And love never condemns.
