You probably don't have this problem but I have messes up - A LOT. And, when I mess up, which happens frequently, no one has to remind me that I have messed up. I know.
When you make a mistake, especially a moral or ethical or spiritual one, the weight is so heavy, you have no doubt that you have messed up. I know that when I have sinned, the conviction from the Holy Spirit is so quick and so heavy that I don't have to have anyone point it out for me.
Today's word is John 8:11, NKJV, which reads, "She said, 'No one, LORD.' And JESUS said to her, 'Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.'"
The lady in today's story had been caught in the very act of adultery. Whether she knew that was spiritually wrong or not, we don't know. Those who brought her to JESUS, though, knew the law and condemned her to die. She had messed up. But...
But, JESUS began to show her the sin she was condemned for and she was convicted by her sin. But, so were all those condemning her. Finally, JESUS asked her where her accusers were, and they were all gone, as JESUS had concicted them. Then, He freed her by telling her that neither did He condemn her. However, she couldn't go back living in sin - she was to go and sin no more.
JESUS is waiting to forgive - just ask Him
Be Blessed,
