Walking down the street on a sunny day, Depending on where the sun is in the sky, you have a shadow. One would believe that your shadow size depends on the size of the person. Nope. What matters is that you are there, and you will have a shadow. You can't outrun it or walk away from it. It darkens things around you. If I am standing with Moochie on a corner and the sun is bright in her eyes there is a way I can position her under my shadow to protect her from the brightness of the light. Shadows have been used in movies, to give off the impression that something very large is looming and dangerous there. The killer or the monster is coming but you can only see his shadow, but you know he is coming closer because the shadow is moving forward.
Lets flip it shall we!!!!
Walking down the street on a sunny day. Depending on where the Son is in your life, you have sin. One would believe that your sin is different based on the size, color, shape of the sin. Nope. What matters is that you are man, and you will have sin. You can't outrun it or walk away from it. It darkens everything around you. If I am standing with Moochie on a corner and the Son is bright in my eyes there is a way she can position her underneath me that she will be covered by his blood. Sin has been in movies since the first movie. But the sin is coming too fast and too furious Forward!!!!!!
I said all that to say this your sins past, present and future will be with you like a shadow, UNLESS you seek not just forgiveness, but true repentance. Sin will ruin you. Sin will destroy you. It takes control of you thoughts!!!!! Now everything you think of is sinful. To the point where you don't even know the difference. It takes over your health!!!!! Don't tell me you don't see sickness and disease as a result of sin, whether directly or indirectly. We receive blessings from others can we not receive curses? It takes over you body!!!! You find yourself doing things that we know doggone well is not Christlike. Yet if you have Christ in you, when you think no one knows of the sins you commit your not by yourself there are 4 of you there. You, and the Holy Trinity.
Romans 7: 24-25
I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question?
The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.
