Ok, I am ready to start.
Today I am going to talk about sin:
In the Greek Bible, the word sin is hamartano which literally means "to miss the mark". We all "miss the mark" but if we hit the mark then we wouldn't need God.
Lets go back to the Garden, no further, God chooses to create humans with freewill, right? Ok so imagine this, God makes us perfect. We never sin, we never need help and we never look to God but God didn't want that, he wanted a relationship with us. The thing is, in order to do this God had to make us reliant on Him, which is where sin comes in.
Our relationship is set up so perfectly, we need Him because we aren't perfect. The more that we aren't perfect the more His perfection shows. So I choose sin so that I can be close to God and have His strength because God's strength is the strongest. So basically I just want to thank the Lord for my sin because for that I can truely be close to Him. Just rejoice in that fact that we aren't perfect and realize this is what makes us close to God. Don't get me wrong this is no justification its just those mistakes that we make, we kill ourselves over. So God loves us. Bottom line. And here is your scripture, because those are always good. :)
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
"even though I have received such wonderful revelatons from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses so that the power of Christ can work through me. That's why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
peace :)
