On this day of your life, dear friend God wants you to know...
. ...that you are a pure child of God, beautiful in your innocence -- and
that this is true no matter what you may have done.

There is no offense you could ever commit that can rob you of your
magnificence, or of the wonder of who you are. Gosh, Eliot Spitzer's
drama has brought up a lot of stuff for all of us, hasn't it? Yet who
among us hasn't fallen from the path, betrayed another, acted
unwisely, fallen prey to temptation, given in to a craving or addiction?

All of us are human. And in God's eyes that makes us perfect.
Really. Just the way we are. Like 3-year-olds, looking anxiously
up at some elder, wondering with quivering lips whether we'll get
a spanking for breaking the rules...

The 3-year-old is beautiful in her innocence. He is pure as snow,
and there is simply something that has not been totally understood,
or fully integrated into behavior yet. It's okay. We don't mean to
be "bad." And in truth, we aren't. Not a one of us.

We're simply, sometimes, mistaken. And God loves us anyway.
Immensely. Completely. Eternally.

Just as we are.

Oh, and by the way, you already know
the reason that this particular reminder

came to you today...

"There is no offense you could ever commit that can rob you of your magnificence"

This is not in the Bible. This sounds good on paper, but, my friend, this is not Scripture. The Bible teaches that you are hostile to God outside of Jesus Christ and that the very sin you commit is such an offense to Him that His wrath is upon you.

John 3:18-21 "The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. 19 Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed. 21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God. "

2 Thessalonians 1:8-10 "With flaming fire he will mete out punishment on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will undergo the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 10 when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admired on that day among all who have believed– and you did in fact believe our testimony."

John 3:35-36 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed all things under his authority. 36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God's wrath remains on him.

The Word is a great book of God's love and abundance. Even when many think it be harsh with His punishments. The message states moreso the understanding of how -no matter what you've done , God will always look upon you with forgiveness WHEN/IF you call upon Him and believe in Him.

God is a God of love and forgiveness abiding.

Neh 9:17 They refused to obey and did not recall your miracles that you had performed among them. Instead, they rebelled and appointed a leader to return to their bondage in Egypt. 1 But you are a God of forgiveness, merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and unfailing in your loyal love. 2 You did not abandon them,

Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forggave you.

-EPHESIANS 4:31-32
