I have a problem. When i have done wrong (like felt upset at someone, or felt jealous, or gossiped, or something like that), i don't feel comfortable coming into the presence of my father. I know why, it's because He is holy and i'm so unholy. I guess i expect him not to accept me...But if i don't approach my father at the times when i've done wrong, then i won't be approaching Him ever. I mean i'm prolly never ever right down to the p's and q's in my heart ever 100 % righteous, so if i wait till i'm right in my heart to approach him, then i'm going to be avoiding him most of the time.
So what do I do?
It's easy...I just come through the blood!
When i'm unholy, unrighteous, dirty, ugly and wrong, i approach my father through the blood. I come through the blood to worship him , I come through the blood to ask forgiveness , i come through the blood to intercede for needs . What this boils down to is if I approach him at all, i have to come through the blood. Cause no matter how good or bad i am, he responds to one thing and one thing only...the blood! In one of the first books of the bible, it talks about the death angel passing over only if the blood was on the door post. If i'm gonna have anything besides death in my life, i have to come through the blood.
What I have to do is this...
I just lift up my hands and say "Father, i know i'm unclean, and knowing this i simply come through the blood!"
This is just so clear to me now--it never was before! It's amazing how hard it sometimes is to understand something so simple!
