No need to CLEAN up your act
before you come before GOD
because only GOD can CLEAN up your act
because it took an ACT of GRACE
the moment JESUS took all our
dirt
scum
mess
on the CROSS
so we HE can CLEAN up our ACT.
And that my friend is
GRACE.
HIS AMAZING GRACE
that empowers the REAL CHANGE
that we all need.
And it is HIS SAME AMAZING GRACE
we need on a daily base
because we can't CLEAN up our ACT
as we can never be
good enough to enter into the PRESENCE of GOD
with our good doing or good being,
It sounds counter productive.
It sounds a wee bit upside down.
But because we live in an upside down world
GOD did the most upside down ACT
by sending HIS PERFECT SON
to get all dirty with our mess
so that HE can CLEAN us up.
Hmm.
AMAZING GRACE
that tells ALL to just COME as we are
so HE can COVER us with HIS PERFECT
that covers all our IMPERFECTIONS.
So upside down, isn't it.
because WHO does that?
Who wants the IMPERFECT to come into HIS PRESENCE?
A GOOD GOD.
Our CREATOR
who ONCE UPON A TIME
made the CHOICE to perform an ACT
that knitted you together in your mother's womb.
And that my friend is
AMAZING GRACE as no one wishes themselves into existence.
So if we are a product of an ACT OF GOD
then we need an ACT OF GOD to CLEAN UP OUR ACT.
JESUS~
GOD'S AMAZING GRACE that covers us so that we can come into HIS PRESENCE~
"So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to GOD, into the Holy Place. JESUS has cleared the way by the blood of HIS sacrifice, acting as our priest before GOD.
The curtain into GOD's presence is HIS body"*
Ready. Get Set. Go.
"So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going" (Hebrews 10:19-23).
Oh just COME as you are
just because you can
because that is why they
"CALL IT GRACE" (listen to the song below)
