SINNER: YOU have the audacity to dream??? Hmph....

So, maybe someone told you that you're crazy for wanting to do "that". Or someone told you that you'll never be able to successfully accomplish & pull "that" off. Maybe someone told you that only -this type of people- can achieve "that". Or maybe even someone told you "that" is impossible because of the greatness of the task or because of your dark past.........

What?? YOU (yeah YOU that is reading this) have the audacity, the balls (<---no offense), the gall to dream? YOU- the one that is still fornicating....YOU- the one that used to be or still is a stripper or prostitute?....YOU- the one that was or is still addicted to drugs & alcohol?......YOU- the molester, the porn addict?....YOU- the robber, lier, cheater, abuser?.........YOU?????? You're not good enough! God will never forgive you! You're going to hell with gasoline drawers on! God doesn't want you! People will never respect you! You're not worthy enough to live a pleasing life! You are nasty! I don't want my children around you! I must turn my nose up at you because you aren't like me! You are so disgusting! I can't believe that you did that & still think God is going to forgive & bless you! You are a nothing, a nobody, you make me sick! Don't ever come around me again! You'll never have better because of what you did/are doing! I'm still tripping off the fact that you are still dreaming & thinking BIG......Ugggggh!

The above may sound a tad bit harsh, but truthfully speaking, there are thousands upon thousands, even millions of people who have heard, are hearing, or will hear those words. My intentions weren't to offend anyone & this wasn't directed at just one person, but ALL OF US! The message behind this post is simply- NO MATTER WHAT YOU'VE DONE, ARE DOING, OR EVEN WHAT YOU WILL DO....GOD STILL LOVES & WILL FORGIVE YOU! Though it crushes my spirit & makes me want to fight---->even the child molesters can be forgiven! God can take what is broke, busted, & disgusted & make it NEW! If you don't believe me, look at YOURSELF! Yep, I said it.....look at YOURSELF!

Matthew 6:14-15- For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

If God wiped away each & every person that ever sinned from the face of this earth, there would be NO ONE..I mean NO ONE left. I don't even think there would be a bird. We have ALL fallen short (Romans 3:23- For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God). Therefore, judging others based off of their past is a huge NO NO, because in that case, you need to be judging yourself as well. True enough, the severity of some sins are in fact bigger than others, but a sin is still a sin is still a sin. Many people have a huge misconception on that matter, and I won't get into details about it. But though both lying about taking the candy & killing someone are both sins, one carries a more severe consequence.

I said all of that to say this, I don't care WHAT you've done because you're never too filthy, too low, or too nasty that God can't turn you around & make everything you went through work out for your good & his glory! YESSSSSS, YOU can still dream & accomplish goals! YESSSSSS, YOU can still be successful!! YESSSSS, YOU can still be the person God has called you to be! People will never allow you to live your future because they're too stuck on your past. That's why its important to know that your actions now may cost you alot of pain later (reputation). BUT...and once again, I thank God for the "BUTs", when you are in HIM, you are a new creature! He and only he will work situations out to where you'll know that NOBODY did this BUT God!

Now, though you'll be forgiven of your sins, it is NOT an excuse to continue sinning. When you sin, pray, repent, turn from your wicked ways, and live a life that's pleasing to God. Its just that simple. But whenever we sin, God will still punish us because he loves us just that much! Just as a parent disciplines a child to show them that they may not want to do that again & to teach them a lesson, the same goes for us & God because he wants us to learn from our mistakes. If you're currently sinning now, STOP it! For every temptation, God will ALWAYS make a way of escape. If you want freedom to make the right choices, then its yours...IF you want it! We have to get up & in there with God to show him just how sorry we really are because  if you're still dibbling and dabbling in sin thinking its all good, your next "please forgive me" may be too late! Repent today so that you can live tomorrow (if it be God's will for your life!).

The next time someone wants to throw up your past in the midst of you trying to do & be better, remind them that God has no respect of persons. If he did it for one, he'll do it for the next! In him, ALL things are new & because of that, we can move forward! You are NOT what you did! You can still dream & be successful! You can STILL make it! Though it may be tough, its not reason enough to think low of yourself. Depending on the sin, it can be a very touchy subject. But if we want what God has for us, we have to get to the surface of some things so he can begin the healing process! I could go on and on and throw a whole bunch of scriptures at ya', but I'll just leave you with these thoughts, lol.......Thanks for reading!

  1. Good post! I think sometimes we are the ones that say that to ourselves. We allow the enemy to deceive us. And we road block ourselves.

  2. You are so right Nikell! We are sometimes our worst enemy. Now, just because we are forgiven surely isn't an excuse to continue sinning, but we must know that God can look beyond our faults, and still see our needs! He wants us to be better, in spite of what we've done!!! Glory be to God that unlike man, HE and only HE has the final say over our lives!

  3. I totally agree with you on taking God's grace for granted. I also thought about 1 Corinthians 1:27 when I read your response. God uses the ones that seem the least qualified for the job. Because I KNOW I don't deserve to preach the gospel through song and by blog. God sees past my mess and uses me anyway.
