The River

Romans 5:17
For if by the transgression of the one, death reined through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will rein in life through the One, Jesus Christ.


Often times we are burdened down by our guilt of our sins and actions. We spend so much time in guilt that we neglect to live. We think about our evil deeds so much that our distress itself turns into sin. Jesus Christ did not die so that you would have to live like this. He died for you to live. Go to the river...

There truly is a river I know about, and if you promise not to keep it a secret I will tell you about it. It exists at the throne of my king. It is as wide as any river imaginable. It is deeper than the deepest canyons. The waters that flow from this river are swift and will overwhelm you if you let them. There are no floatation devices in this river because no one who has ever dived in has ever wanted out. Many have tried to tell me that this river does not exist. They say that it is the result of illusions and emotion. It is funny that they say this, because I have seen it. I know it exists. Often times I take deep dips into it. It is not effective until it overwhelms you.

I can tell you how to get there if you want.

Do you want me to tell you?

Okay I will. You must take the narrow trip up to the Cross of Jesus Christ. You must ask for his admittance. He will let you in if you believe what you see, and there you will find the river of grace that flows in abundance for his children. The river known as Grace that began to flow right at two thousand years ago...

It is still flowing friend...I promise. I know because I was there earlier this very evening.

If you have been burdened by your sins I invite you to take a running leap into the sweet living waters of redemption where a Savior has promised to wash you white as snow. May you find what your looking no where else except there drowning in the sweetness of the Savior's love...Godspeed!
