Only the Richteousness of Christ

Here is an amazing song written by a friend of mine:

ONLY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
Of CHRIST
A song of Sonship, K. Emborsky, Romans, 2011

1.There is no deed my hands have done  
No human effort that’s enough  
No right living have I attained  
To bring me hope for righteousness  
For when I trust in my will to obey  
Then I have fallen away from grace  
There is no room left in my heart  
For Jesus’ finished work on the cross
 
(chorus)  
There is nothing else  
There is only Jesus
Only the righteousness of Christ
There’s only the blood to justify
To cover my sin before the Divine  
And only the Spirit  
Brings me to surrender  
There is nothing else-only Jesus  
Only the righteousness of Christ

2.So by the Spirit I’ll lay down  
All the resolve I think I’ve found  
All of my zeal to do what’s right  
Will never stand in the presence of Christ  
Only by faith that comes from God  
And by believing in His Son
I will accept the gift He gives  
And let my holiness come from Him

God will give us more than we can handle

There is a saying, "God will not give you more than we can handle". This is not true. The fact is He will. But God will not give us anything He can't handle.

All I Have is Christ

To forgive - Do we believe?

So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother and then come and offer your gift. – Matthew 5:23,24

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. – Colossians 3:13

Why is that we don’t believe? When our hearts are hurt, we run, we hide, we push others away, but we don’t believe. God has called us to forgive. God has called us to love. God has called us to love even in the hardships and the hurts and when we are sinned against. He has called us to love when love is not returned. He has called us to love our enemies. He has called us to this, not because we are capable of loving or bearing the hurt and pain and suffering, but because He is our refuge and He knows our hurt and pain and our broken heart. And He knows what it takes to heal our hearts. It takes being near Him and making Him our refuge. When we push others away and choose not to forgive, we disobey God, who has called us to grow in love, and we run away from trusting God to be our shelter in the pain. We cannot fully heal till we have forgiven. And even in those situations where it seems impossible to forgive, there is a God full of compassion, who longs to walk along side with us, who longs to hold us and to be with us and to give us the strength to live. We can live our lives seeking to protect ourselves or we can allow God to protect us to be our shelter. So do we believe? Our we willing to trust, and to love, and to forgive?

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." – Matthew 18

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. – Luke 6
