“May the God of hope fill you with all peace and joy as you
trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Yesterday I had an hour or two of fun with Mhairi setting up
a Twitter account. She had encouraged me to go for it, despite my reluctance,
and then illustrated how it might help me connect with other like-minded people
to share ideas.
We laughed a lot doing it and looked forward to a gentle
competition between us as to who would gain the most followers.
This morning I logged on and was shocked to see that my
account has been suspended! Although I’ve only tweeted once and not committed
any of the infractions on their rule sheet, something has caused Twitter to
treat me as if I have ‘sinned’ against them.
I feel tarnished somehow, almost guilty. Silly of course,
but I guess it’s the way the world often makes one feel. Rejected. Unworthy. Bad.
That’s something I just love about Jesus. His lavish love. His
unqualified forgiveness. His washing away of my sins and giving me a clean bill
of health. His never making me feel guilty, because he took my guilt on
himself.
What a wonderful Lord we have. May the God of hope fill your
day with encouragement, laughter and life.
