Free In CHRIST

Today I think I had a visual reminder of what CHRIST's death really did for me..I sat through a service of rituals and rules while looking at christ crucified on a cross..Trying to figure out what these people were doing..Were they thinking that these rituals would save them or do they really know a relationship with the lord..They seem to think that unless certain rituals are done that you can not reach our GOD. They dont think that I can have communion with them in remembrance of his death..because I had not done a class that says I can..All I could do was pray for these people. Pray that GOD would open their eyes and hearts to his words and truths..I am so thankful that the BIBLE says believe and you are saved..That I can reach GOD only through his son JESUS..The perfect sacrifice..Just believe in him...I DO believe and am so thankful that I wanted to fall flat and thank GOD with all my heart and soul. Then as I exited the building there in the court yard are people selling goods and holding out cups begging...It took me back to when JESUS got ripped and started flipping over tables and said "Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you have made it a den of robbers" All I could do was pray for these people again..and..Pray for my relationship to strenthen and my dependence grow..Which I must say has happened is the time I have been here..I am nothing..Only with CHRIST. I can do nothing apart from him..In his time and his will. TOTAL release of self...I am learning...Stubborn human I am...Just thankful that my prayer of open ears and heart has been heard...That I am still soft to his voice and must give it all to him...And thankful that he sent his HOLY SPIRIT as my helper to be with me forever..he will teach me all things and bring to my remembrance all that Jesus has said. Father in Heaven I thank you from my soul that I can be with you ...I pray that there is nothing left of me only you..That I will long to follow you and your ways, and when I might start to step out with my own self please gently push me back and bring forth you..I want to please you...In all I do..Through CHRIST name I ask these things...
