| | Good morning,
It is flowing through the summer days when heat gets you to shower twice a day. The nights are not as forgiving as it used to be, I don't want to go out at all.
As I always say, that summer is always something interesting. During the summer times is when some changes that occurs to set my next school year. I am not feeling it yet, I've been busy.
This season is dreadful, along with it is also the moody feelings that brings me down. The heat in America is different, and as much as it is different, it is weird in the sense that it brings rain unexpectedly. This then causes the humidity that lingers in the air, which makes things worst off. So when there are days that lifts me up, there are days that brings me down.
God has put me on a leash because He had to or else I would wander away with my own plans in life. Not that God is a control freak, and He is in control but I did always pray that He would not let me go despite how I have been doing in life. Over more, He is and will be there no matter what.
But I have been reminded of change, and thus maybe here is where changes will come in for this summer. God needs no jury to play risk balancing on my cases, God needs no credit score to predict my behaviors, and God certainly needs no insurance and mortgages to safe guard my promises to not sin. However He needs a lawyer, not for Himself, but for me.
The Miranda warning as is always quoted and addressed that "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense."
So as I am under arrest for my sins, I have the right to not say anything... truth is there is nothing to be said when God arrests us because He already knows what we did. And anything we say can and will be used against us, so there is no point of lying and justifying to God. I have the right to speak to an attorney, which may not be exactly a right, but as many people says that it is a privilege and the attorney to be present at any point of time during my arrest. So if we cannot afford a lawyer, which we actually really cannot, one will be provided by for us at God's expense.
God gave me Jesus as a lawyer...
But this lawyer did more than represented me in my case of sin. Truth is, He was not fighting to plead me not guilty, but to acknowledge my case of failure to observe the law of holiness and righteousness that has led to the case of sin... In any case in court today, you think that this would be the worst lawyer ever, making you look bad. But not so when He not only represented you in front of God, but took your punishments.
Then the case will be settled as we will walk, and Jesus will do time.
Now that is the case of forgiveness, the sentence has took place. We can walk out of the court unharmed... But... now the state of the situation has increased greatly, that it is now up to us to decide how to respond. Our repentance will keep us safe as we acknowledge the ransom that was given for us, or we continue to commit sin and in the end to lead to a judgment that ultimately sends us into prison for "life"...
I have been a believer for almost 13 years, and I have not really acted like one for many many occasions with no good reason. Seeing the case for my failure to meet God's standards, I have found myself in court of God many many times and each every time, Jesus has made His mark for my place of punishment. This is a drastic act of love and forgiveness, so I need to make a more drastic act of change on my part.
As I take my place for getting my rehabilitation, I call along people that are close to me to do so for this summer. Because each time when you look back on your trail of sin, it does not get any shorter, but only gets transferred to Someone else that does not deserve it... Respond for a better life, and I mean better in every way possible...
