To the Bottom of the Ocean

This weekend Greg Laurie spoke at church. He showed the new companion video to his book called Lost Boy. It is the story of Greg Laurie's life, and it is a powerful one! He was saved from a destructive lifestyle and a very broken home.

He shared that God cleans his fish after he catches them. So many people assume that they are too dirty to come before God. They fear there are things in their life that would displease God, and they must find a way to get rid of them in their own strength. God calls us to come to him. Wounds, pains, mess-ups, bad habits, and all. AS WE ARE! God is the healer. God is the transformer of lives. Let him change you!!

When we ask God to come into our lives, God throws our sins present, past, and future to the bottom of the ocean, and then he posts a "No Fishing" sign. God is not the one bringing back our hold sins and holding them in our faces. We are. God has forgiven us. Ask for the strength to forgive yourself. God bless you!
