The Holy Spirit has been teaching me a lot about how Jesus paid the price in full for us to enjoy life. He wants us to live in this realm as children of God and He sees us as he sees His Son Jesus Christ.
God does not in any way condemn us His children because of what His Son has done. I
believe that we are so blessed and like the prodigal son in Luke 15: 11 - 32 we can come back to the Father and in His faithfulness He welcomes us back with open arms. The story of the prodigal son shows us the love and compassion of a good father, a Father who loves us with all our short comings.
God knows everything about us and He said so in the book of Psalm 139: 1 - 23
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
Isn't it beautiful that the God of the universe knows everything about us His children? and that nothing is hidden from Him. Why? because He is our Father. Look at what He says in Matthew 7:9 "Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!"
This is who our God is. A God that loves us that much, He said How much more will He our Father give to us all we ask and even more?
In Romans 8: 32 He gave us this promise
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Whatever we are going through in life, God says in Psalms 139 that He knows everything. Nothing is hidden from Him. He sees it all and He says to us I know your ending from the beginning. I know where you are at. I know my plans for you all. I know how it will all turn out. I created and formed you before you were formed in your mother's womb. I am in you and with you and for you. All I am asking from you is to trust Me and believe that I am able to see you through it all.
