SIN MAKES US AFRAID

SIN MAKES US AFRAID


Of course=we all KNOW=sin
Was BROUGHT into the world
When Adam and Eve ate fruit
Off of the FORBIDDEN TREE


It made them afraid
And want to HIDE


And when we SIN or do wrong
In this world=it makes us AFRAID
And want to hide too


“After the man-Adam-had eaten
Of the tree
The LORD God


CALLED to the man
And asked him
'WHERE are you?'


He answered-
'I HEARD you in the garden-
But I was AFRAID-
Because I was naked
So I hid myself'” Genesis 3:9-10


Sin is NOTHING less than
MISSING THE MARK-
With our lives


And WHEN-we miss the mark-
We hide because we are AFRAID
That we do not measure up=and
We SOMETIMES hide like Adam did


“The Lord is my light---
And my SALVATION---
Whom shall I fear?


The Lord is the STRONGHOLD
Of my life---of whom
Shall I be AFRAID?” Psalm 27:1


“He replied---'You of little FAITH-
WHY are you afraid?'


Then he got up and rebuked
The winds and the waves
And it was COMPLETELY CALM” Matthew 8:26


And WHY should we be afraid?
For all the WRONG Adam and Eve
Did=The Lord Jesus=made it RIGHT=
He GAVE his entire life=to FORGIVE
And make things right
For us


Sometimes when we do WRONG=
We hide and we SHY
AWAY from God


But God KNOWS the truth about
What we have a HARD TIME acknowledging


Today is the FEAST of the
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION=and she STANDS
Up for us too


Through GRACE=and her=and HER SON=we too
CAN BE FORGIVEN


LEAN on the BLESSED MOTHER today
And ask her=to SHARE
Her grace with you


“You are
The most EXCELLENT of men
And your lips


Have been anointed
With GRACE


Since God
Has BLESSED YOU FOREVER” Psalm 45:2


“The WORD became flesh
And made his dwelling
Among us


We have seen his GLORY
The glory of
The ONE & ONLY SON


Who came from the Father
FULL of GRACE=and truth” John 1:14


We NO LONGER need to be AFRAID=
The SON=MAKES us clean=and the
BLESSED MOTHER adds her GRACE


In the names of Jesus and his MOST GLORIOUS FATHER
