Do Not Be Ashamed

 


    Do not be ashamed of your salvation.  Why would you become a Christian and then want to deny it.  Do not be ashamed for living a life of integrity.  Do not regret your past once you give it over to God.  He is using it today.
    God is to be trusted. His invitation to join Him is good for as along as you live.  You should fear God's wrath and displeasure with you over any circumstance that you may be facing.  He is more relevant than anything you may be afraid of.
    When you come to God recognize that you are in Holy presence.  Fear His Word because He always upholds it.  If He says you are doomed without Him, then it is true.  Put your entire trust in him and you will lack nothing.  You will be under His eternal protection.
    Going against what your peers, society, or the government says is good is not enough.  You have to live out your faith boldly.  You have to speak up against what God declares evil.  This is when things will become more clear to you.  If you are with God, then you have enough to live a fruitful and content life of purpose.
    Trust God to provide for your needs.  Claim the promise today that He will take care of you.  He is inviting you to trust him with all of your life's future and eternity.  All you have to do is deal with your sin through salvation and giving it over to Him.  Believe in your heart that you are forgiven from the past, so you can let it go.  Learn to submit to God's authority and discover peace in your heart.
    Praise God openly.  Do not fear what people will say or do.  That is on them.  You are only supposed to trust God and let go of everything else.  When life is a struggle, shattered, crushing you, are scary, trust God.  When people try to manipulate you, turn to you faith.  God will never disappear on you.  He has broken your chains.  Now it is time to live a life of praise.
