I AM FLAWLESS
"YOU
ARE ALTOGETHER BEAUTIFUL MY LOVE, THERE IS NO FLAW IN YOU"
- SONG OF SOLOMON 4:7
When you have been born again, you wake up like this --FLAWLESS! Again and again. Regardless of what failures may have occurred the day before.
I thank Beyoncé for her boldness to sing such lyrics. But you have to know the truth to these words as a follower of Christ. You are free from condemnation. You are free from guilt. You are free from your past. Nothing you have done defines who you are: good or bad! When Jesus went to the cross, died and rose again, He gave us mighty power. Because of His sacrifice, God judged Jesus spotless, without wrinkle. When you accept His Son you are judged the exact same way!
That means let it go! I will say it again if you are like me..."LET IT GO!' It took me a long time to really get this in my heart. It was one thing I understood and could tell you as the right answer. But for me to let things go quickly and not dwell on them, for some time has seemed like a battle. I have to really fight myself to let it go so that I won’t beat myself up in other ways internally. It's not healthy at all. keeping your mind on what you've already done won't change it. Jesus can change it. You are not perfect. I am not perfect. It's unrealistic and yet we make it our mark.
Joseph Prince had a remarkable way of illustrating our being washed in the blood of Jesus. It's like you are a rock sitting underneath a waterfall of Jesus’ blood. It is constantly washed at all times. That is how you should envision yourself. Forgiven constantly. Yes, there are consequences to our actions. But we are not in bondage to them. And the more we accept this flawless, unconditional love, the more we are empowered to live the right way and it’s no longer a struggle.
You are doing yourself no good in weighing yourself down based on one or even multiple events gone wrong. In society, as women we are held to extremely high standards. We have to put on makeup, have great skin, have a great shape, be independent, be strong, take care of everyone, and have a smile while doing it. But that standard is completely unreal to do all the time. Eventually someone will be unhappy with something you do. People get surgery to meet society's standards. But underneath all of that, God sees your core. His precious child. The quicker we see ourselves as He sees us the more we can let go of attempting to be something God already sees us as.
You are forgiven. His love for you is unconditional and pure. Wake up. Let Him comfort you. Now move on. God will tie together any loose ends. But you have to move forward in faith. You are, after it all, flawless!
