Wouldn't the world....


Wouldn't the world be a wonderful place if...

- People could live without guilt...of failure, of past mistakes, of missed
opportunities
- People could live without the negative effects of pride,guilt etc...
- People could live in love...

The Good News is we can!!

Jesus encourages us to examine our priorities, in as far as where we place things of importance.
In Matthew 7: 1-6, He teaches us that, checking out logs in our own lives is important, because its often those emotions which can determine how we react to the specks in the lives of those around us.
In other words, sometimes we react to others based on our own feelings of guilt, pride and self-loathing.

He asks us to live in love.
We can only do that effectively when we are free from the effects of negative emotions.

My prayer is that you would, right now, irrespective of what your are doing, ask Jesus to set you free from emotions which are holding captive...

Pray with me: Lord Jesus, please set me free from my guilt, shame, pain, pride and confusion. Help me to live freely. I surrender myself to You. Amen.
