Nothing but the blood;

What amazes me though is how sinful human nature is.
I experience such great love of Christ during church;
but fell back to my worldly patterns but this time, even worst.
I felt so unclean and miserable to the stage when you just want to rip your skin apart.

Yet again and again, God's love extended out to me.
Feel unworthy as I am, I hid away refusing to forgive myself.
And I remember asking, "Can my sins really be fully washed away? that I may be clean again?"
I doubted; but He rebuked it.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to DNA encounter.
Most amazing time of my life.
Pastor Deb was talking about her past and how God rhetorically questioned her,
"Look at the cross. Isn't that enough for you to forgive someone just as God forgives you?"

It was when I realise that God was telling me the same thing.
Isn't the blood Jesus shed for you good enough to cleanse you?
good enough to provide salvation for you?

How awesome is our God who loves us so much when we are weak.

Today, just as I was doubting God again.
A song that I used to sing at church came to my mind:


What can wash away our sins
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus


Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

He got it all covered

During praise and worship 1 week ago at church, I was looking through what I've done in my life.
The sin that entangled me and made me fall short of God's glory
I wondered to myself, "Why can't I be perfect, or perhaps little better than what I am right now"
Guilt and shame was upon me, but suddenly I felt peace in my heart.
A smile on my face that couldn't be wiped out. And it was because of these words that God spoke,

"You are made perfect with my love"
