DON’T
FAKE IT!
Our heavenly wants to bless us as we
are, any efforts to be nicer, more moral, more law abiding or even more
spiritual in order to earn it, won’t just cut it. Have you ever wondered why
virtually everybody that Jesus healed in His earthly ministry were not big fans
of spirituality, but they sure knew how to fall at His feet, exactly the way
they were ‘sinners’, and His ever-ready hand reached out to them all.
A case study is shown in the
scriptures:
And,
behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou
Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.... But he answered
and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat
of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and
said unto her, O woman, great is
thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.
Matt 15:26-28
In essence, a Gentile came in
the guise of Jew (for she called Jesus; Son of David), and she got no response,
then she took off the mask, and devil in her daughter took off, moreover she
got commended by Jesus for her ‘great’ faith.
Not only her, the prodigal son came back in all his
filth, the lepers came with their leprosy, and countless sick came and they all
received a perfect touch. Guess who never received a touch from the master?
Yea, my guess too, the scripture quoting, prayer reciting, flowing garment wearing, law
abiding, tithe giving, finger pointing, pretentious Pharisees and Sadducees-
The religious mafia.
God loves you, the way you are, and only His love is strong
enough to create the desired change in your personality and any other aspect
you desire.
