Dear friend,
Are you sitting under the grace shadow
Or are you sitting under the shadow of condemnation?
Under the grace shadow,
There is life, acceptance, extravagant love, hope, restoration.
This shadow transforms, encourages, strengthens,
Yes, under this shadow,
You see God as joyful, happy, smiling, good...
What a contrast to the shadow of condemnation.
The shadow of condemnation reveals a God who is angry, upset, mad, hard to please...
This shadow highlights your failure
Reminding you of how you have tried, but failed.
This shadow constantly points an accusing finger at your sin
This shadow moans with striving, and disguises itself with "religion."
The grace shadow is the gift that the Father wants to give you.
He gave His Son to make a way
For you to be free from the power of sin, the condemnation, the accusations and guilt.
He provided the grace shadow with His suffering love
So you could be righteous...
Not because of anything righteous you have done,
But because of what He has done as He made a way for you on the cross.
Yes, the grace shadow
Shouts the good news of the gospel,
The good news of His finished work,
The good news of the One who loves you completely.
Thank you Father for your grace shadow!
