This year has been the worst of my life. But it’s confusing because God has given me some amazing blessings. Yet I keep having these wrong thoughts and occasional dreams that tell me that I’m fallen and that God has left me or cast me out. But then a while back I had an experience that is very biblical where a Bible quote practically jumped off the page at me. It was John 5:24. When you get a message from the Bible you can’t be separated from God. Yet it’s odd when God seems distant. It’s so confusing.
I find myself submitting prayer requests more frequently these days as I’m trying to pray my way out of this. I know in my heart that I’m a faithful Christian. So I guess I’ll see what happens….
Maybe Jesus will come back and take us all home.
In the Words of Don Francisco
No Condemnation
Sittin' by my window
On a rainy afternoon
Everything inside my head
Was playin' outta tune
I was thinkin' of the fool
I'd made of me the night before
In front of God and everyone
I'd sinned and sinned some more
Well, I thought of all the things I'd done
I winced at things I'd said
I wallowed in self-pity
I hung my worried head
And right when I was so far down
That even up looked wrong
That's when Jesus gave to me
The chorus of this song
He said, Satan, the accuser
Has been whisperin' in your ear
You just tell him you're forgiven
He's got no business here
'Cause it doesn't matter what you've done
It matters what you'll be
There is no condemnation
When the Son has set you free
Now I could say that right away
The sun bursts through the clouds
And I just started singin' on
That chorus right out loud
But actually, I moped around
And blew another day
Before I let myself accept the words
I'd heard Him say
He said, Satan, the accuser
Has been whisperin' in your ear
You just tell him you're forgiven
He's got no business here
'Cause it doesn't matter what you've done
It matters what you'll be
There is no condemnation
When the Son has set you free
So, I can't criticize you now
If you wanna take your time
Cling to all your problems
Just the way I'd clung to mine
But now you got the answer
Jesus wanted you to know
He'll take your sin and guilt away
If you'll just let them go
And if Satan the accuser
Has been whisperin' in your ear
You just tell him you're forgiven
He's got no business here
'Cause it doesn't matter what you've done
It matters what you'll be
There is no condemnation
When the Son has set you free
There is no condemnation
When the Son has set you free
