Words From the Well!
I Need Mercy!...
Have you ever tried to be REAL with your Christian friends? If they are truly Christian friends, they will not send you packin'--they will love, support and encourage you--and admire your transparency. Be REAL--don't fake it with your friends. If you're having a "bad hair day," find a good Christian friend and share it. Now don't unload the troubles of your entire life all in one sitting--that could be a bit much--grin--but know there are loving friends who will value your unmasked honesty. And want to be like you, as well. All meeting at the mercy seat on level ground; all remembering His mercy for our deepest needs. Want a close friendship? Then try being REAL--and watch what happens! It will be all to His glory and our great relief--but ONLY when, in His presence, we remove the mask. I dare you!
And here's the wonder of it all...we are "saints," even when we are acting angry, scared, and kool--He identifies us as His own; He welcomes us to the mercy seat with open arms of love and understanding. We do not lose our "sainthood" each time we put the mask back on--no! Rather He waits with patience for the unmasking WE must do in His presence. And then, comes the great part--He has a REAL covering of grace and mercy for all our faults, inadequacies, hangups, and failures. It's called the Blood of Christ, and it is still real and powerful for us today. Claim it, saint--it's yours!
Angry? Scared? Kool? There's one just like us in God's Word--Peter! This poor guy--blustering, over-confident, and yet failing all over the place--was masking our same failures. For underneath he, like us, was angry, scared, and kool. But one day he took off the mask in the presence of God's mercy. And God changed him into a great man of mighty faith. His confession of faith became the foundational rock of the Church. He became a saint in the sandals of real life. All to His glory and Peter's great relief! Can we do the same? I dare you!
Now go take off a mask--or two--or three, and have a good week!
His Healing Word
"Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
"Lord, I've worn masks for too long. I detest the make-believe, the pretense of happy living, when in fact, I am quite miserable. I bring the misery to you; I unmask in Your presence. I ask Your help to be real in my world. I joyfully accept your mercy and my status as a saint in your wonderful Kingdom. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16 KJV)."
