| IN FRONT OF JESUS |
|
| |
2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 2:10 Once you were no people but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy but now you have received mercy.
You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,...the people of
God.
Whenever Mamma thought I might be tempted to be less than truthful because
of the pressure of a situation, she would say, "I'm going to ask you a
difficult question, Jack. But before I do, I want to say, 'I'm asking it in
front of Jesus.'"
And when Mamma would say, "In front of Jesus," I could just imagine Jesus
seated on a throne immediately to my left as I stood face-to-face with
Mamma, prepared to hear whatever question she asked.
There are no limits to what God can do in a life, what He can do through a
life, and what He can grow around and within a life, when it's lived--in
front of Jesus. That's the place where integrity of heart is always
sustained.
