The sword is pulled

Seeing things as truth and living things as truth is often difficult even when they have been in front of your nose all your life.
Fisherman in the fog have a saying "trust the compass over what you think." The same goes for pilots.
For we who have accepted Christ.
Jesus died on the cross for our sins. It now allows GOD to see us perfect and being perfect he can now have a relationship with us , Before the sin kept us apart from GOD because GOD and SIN Can't mix.
That's it, straight and clear.
On the cross he not only forgave our sins he forgot our sins and put them away as far as the east is from the west.
Which means if I sin and I said GOD do you remember the sin I did. He would say, what sin?

Here is the head scrunchie for the day.
How come we are always living with the junk luggage of our past sins?
If we are a new creature in Christ and the old things are gone, why are we always picking them up and proclaiming look what a wretched cruddy person I am?
If Jesus said it is finished why are we holding on to the sin and beating ourselves up with it?
Paul had a crappy past he was a christian killer, and he said" This one thing I do, I forget what lies behind and go forward in Christ Jesus."
Now certainly if there are things in your past you need to fix ,God's spirit will let you know and you need to do them.
My wife is often telling me that I am not as cruddy a person as I think I am. And satan has got me convinced and it is crippling.

So here I am, getting it out on the table to look at.
Basic kindergarten logic:
1.When I accepted Christ as my savior from that moment, GOD seeing me through his sons blood I now am perfect and my sin part of my past is gone.
He forgot it all. Not only my past but all the sin I would do in the future.

2.From that moment he saw me beautiful , perfect. I can still see me but he cannot see my sin.
My opinion of me does not phase one bit how GOD sees me.

3. The nature of GOD is to love me. That is where he is at.

Lord you want me, to let you love me.

4.GOD your bottom line is, you want me, to see how you see me.
You want me to see that to you I am blameless, being blameless I go to a Father who does not have any reason but to love and delight in me.
You said because I am blameless I can come boldly to you any time and you will never reject me. You will never condemn me for my many screw ups in life.

Lord it was there all the time, right in front of my nose.
I am new in seeing and living with my blameless life through Christ.
I see I am the one that pushes the sin and junk in between us.
Lord I can see how your love can set me free from myself, if I just run to you open hearted without me holding my sin, into your arms.

I hear you calling me,
"come here you little rascal, let me love you, I will open the floodgates of who I am because you are perfect and please me."
"Talk to me ,tell me your concerns every part of who you are, always has my attention". "Twirl around let me see how my son's coat of righteousness looks on you. I love it, I thoroughly love you."

Lord with you right now I am totally accepted.
Inside my head I know it, but it feels like my heart is on a journey to fully experience it, but the future has never looked better.
Thank you for the brightness and the excitement of who you are.
your Ted!

The mystic story of peasant King Arthur when he pulls the sword out of the stone could only take place because he was the son of the King.
Here I am, son of the King of Kings and all I've done is played around the stone. No more, the sword is pulled, wobbly perhaps but pulled.
