Forgiveness Day 2: Hebrews 10: 10-11

Hebrews 10: 10-11

10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

My Reflection:

In order to really grab the gist of this text, I had to go back and read a little more of chapter 10.  This chapter basically highlights the fact that animal sacrifices will no longer be acceptable in that Christ dies on the cross for all sins and he was and is the perfect sacrifice.

I struggled with even logging on to write this post because today was/is not a good day.  Didn't sleep the best but that wasn't really my struggling point because I don't really sleep a lot anyway...my struggle really came in that I had like a really good day yesterday...I was super geeked about the progress I was making as far as my issue and my forgiveness and then last night/this morning something shift and anger/hate/bitterness started rising up and I just don't know right now. I felt a little bit defeated because of this whole up and down thing.  I know people told me it wouldn't be an easy walk and I know that I'd have good days and bad days but I didn't think they'd be so extreme or so close together...I expected a period of good/great days and then maybe a day or two of bad ones....

My prayer for today is kinda simple....Lord, if I can't feel good about this...I don't want to feel anything at all. I know that it is kind of selfish but I really want to be in a good place about this situation God and right now I'm not, so numb me to it.

Until next time....
