The Blindfold

You are My sheep and I Am your Shepherd. You are My child and I Am your Loving Father. You are My bride and I Am your caring and gentle Husband. I have placed a blindfold around your eyes so that you cannot see into the future. You cannot see all the present either. I gave you the blindfold as a gift. It is the gift of dependence upon Me. The more you depend upon Me, the closer We draw to each other. To be close to you is My great desire. Isaiah 41:13 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help  you. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Psalm 44:3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.

Keep Your Eyes on Me

When you self-punish for your sin you stop looking at Me and look only at yourself.  You stop listening to Me and listen to yourself. Self-condemnation only leads to more pride, more self-righteousness, more judgmentalism, and more self-centeredness. You cannot follow Me when you take your focus off Me to stare at your sin and unworthiness. Focus on My Love. Romans 7: 24-25  Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.
