“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. He always keeps his word.” Hebrews 10:22 The Message
What grips you…?
Your hidden fears … Your “constantly trying best” self … Your quiet desperation or … The Perfecting One’s complete acceptance of you? He wants you to live today with a full life … His complete ”inside and out” life. The Full Life that Jesus offers you today is not made of patched up past lives or exhausted everyday lives. He is offering you a perfect life that begins and is sustained in His indwelling life in you. He really is offering you a perfect life! His life is nothing less than everything you long for in being made whole. You can take a deep breath .. laugh out loud .. sigh a “huge draught of praise” .. and be gripped with the forever grip of Jesus. It only takes a moment … one perfect moment with a perfect person.
“It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people.” Hebrews 10:14 The Message
