“I am not at all concerned about being judged … I don’t even pass judgment on myself.” – Apostle Paul (1st Corinthians 4:3-4)
Jesus frees us from all condemnation, even from self. We no longer have to make excuses for our actions or beat ourselves up for our misdeeds – Christ has taken all of that for us. He has become my judge and my justifier so I no longer need to step into those roles.
Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection
“[He said] that when an occasion of practicing some virtue offered, he addressed himself to GOD, saying, LORD, I can not do this unless Thou enablest me; and that then he received strength more than sufficient.
That when he had failed in his duty, he only confessed his fault, saying to GOD, I shall never do otherwise, if You leave me to myself; ’tis You must hinder my falling, and mend what is amiss. That after this he gave himself no uneasiness about it.” – Practicing the Presence of God by Father Joseph de Beaufort, Second Conversation”
Prayer: Thank you, Father, you have justified me in Christ. I no longer need to justify myself nor make excuses but turn all my actions, good or bad, to your care.
Sound Bite: Jesus is my judge and justifier, I no longer need to step into those roles.-fritz@langgang.com
