An Exhortation

Hebrews 3:12-14
Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.

I wanted to take a brief moment to encourage every reader of this blog, I am praying for you. I am struggling alongside of you, fighting the deceitfulness of sin and fighting that the sovereign joy of God would be my true strength. Oh for those of you who have truly come to share in Christ, who have been born again, who are new creations, take heart! For we have a faithful and gracious high priest in Christ Jesus who has been tempted and suffered in every way as we have. He has faced the pain of rejection and loss. He has faced nights of loneliness and longing as he tread the dark roads of the creation that He made. He knows our frame, He knows our weaknesses, and He is for us. Praise God that He has given us the glorious gift of His Son, that God looks upon our weak, sinful, fallen frames with delight because of the finished work of our high priest Jesus. Praise God that we can rest...rest from all our striving, our incessant desire to earn the acceptance and approval of others and of our God. It has all been done on our behalf. As our Savior cried from the cross "it is finished". We are move loved, more accepted, more approved than we ever thought possible and it is all because of Christ Jesus. Be encouraged my friends!
