Love... Is Overriding

I, even I, am He Who blots out your transgressions for My Own sake; And I will not remember your sins.

Isaiah 43:25 (NKJV)

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord…

Acts 3:19 (NKJV)

I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.

Hebrews 8:12 (NKJV)

Show business is a business of pictures, and the more you work, the more you “get shot”– not counting family, friends, and their phones!

I’ve been caught in countless awkward poses: Weird smiles, closed eyes, dumb moves, and ungraceful moments:)

Mistakes on film are re-shot easily, as new takes replace weaker ones, and yet… SOCIAL MEDIA “IMMORTALIZES” bad choices we’ve tried to put behind us.

Stars (like Rosie) got fired for past mistakes. Forgiveness isn’t even considered.

However, the One Who sees everything: inside, outside, past, present, and future…

Gives OVERRIDING, no-matter-what love…

  • Like a thick coat of the purest white paint, totally covering ALL past mistakes.

  • Like a great heavenly washing machine, cleansing our lives from old, stubborn dirt.

  • Like THE Father’s most comforting embrace, protecting us from villains and torment.

  • Like a pay-it-forward holy mandate, prompting us to greater love for others.

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

The strength of love overrides lesser things, and everything’s a lesser thing than LOVE.

I won’t urge you to show this love to fans or the lost sheep and prodigals you meet. I know that YOU KNOW outsiders need love (and many “Christians” have failed in this test).

I urge you to apply it to YOURSELF. God has overriden your past mistakes. They’re non-existent on your life’s record. Don’t let the devil put them in your mind. This is NOT a holy resurrection. It’s the opposite:(

Love… Is Overriding (Part 55)

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God! We’re all called to be actors (action stars) for Jesus. We’re all called to be models of Jesus. We all have gifts, talents, and a commission to multiply them in the world for His glory.

P.S. NO DEVOTION, PREACHER, or SERMON… can begin to replace personal time in the Bible. I wholeheartedly and clear-headedly recommend DAILY BIBLE READING.

WARNING: Don’t focus on your favorite verses, because taken out of context, they’re often misinterpreted. I plead with you to READ AT LEAST 1 BIBLE CHAPTER DAILY. How long does it take? An average of 5 to 10 minutes!
