“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with the Messiah Jesus.” Romans 8:1
The other day at the grocery store a loud crash was heard and something shattering. One person who was kind of noisy, walked towards the sound and saw some people whispering and looking back to the end of the next aisle. When the listening person walked down that aisle, she saw an older lady had hit a shelf and many things had fallen to the ground and broke. She was kneeling on the floor embarrassed, frantically trying to clean up.
The bystander felt so bad for her, and everyone was just standing there staring at her. So she went and knelt beside her and told her not to worry and started helping her pick up the broken pieces. After about a minute, the store manager came and knelt beside the two of them and said, “Leave it, we will clean this up.” The lady, totally embarrassed, said, “I need to pay for all this first.” The manager smiled, helped her to her feet and said, “No ma’am, we have insurance for this, you do not have to pay anything!”
I would like for you to know that this is one of the greatest moments in life. Would you close your eyes, and imagine God doing the same for you! It is taken care of, I mean completely. All of our brokenness has been paid, all of our iniquity, all of our sin, all of our shame - it was paid in full.
He has collected the pieces of your broken heart from all the blows life has thrown at you. The bill for your faults, sin and folly has already been paid through the precious blood of Christ. God will heal all your wounds. He wants to gently lift you to your feet again, clean up your mess, and pick up all the broken pieces. He wants to heal you! He wants to take care of your soul!
We can have that same insurance and it’s called GRACE! Can you think of another person to share this with and send it to them?
