Beautiful and Forgiven

I have lived my life believing these that I must work hard to make the Lord pleased.
 That I must work myself to the bone, to be allowed to approach his throne.
 I was afraid to approach him just as me, because I though an eyesore is all he would see.
 Because my sin was as vast as the sea, I believed the Jesus’s blood couldn’t cover me.
 For these are all thoughts that we all must dispel, for these are all lies from the pit of hell;
 Because this is the truth that my father has told me, that we are forgiven and now I see.
 That I am the righteousness of Christ and you must know, that nothing in this world can stop his loving flow. 
We are forgiven once we believe, that Christ is the only way; so be relieved. Now Christ’s forgiveness is yours too, and nothing can stop him from loving you.

 There is no need for sacrifices that is true; but how can that apply to me and you. 
Now we can approach his throne and be free, because there is no baggage, theirs only me. 
We are forgiven, yes you and me; He has made us his lights for the world to see. 
We are not eyesores but diamonds you know, we are his treasures that he will show. 
He will show us to the world to show that he cares, that in every detail of life that he is there. 
He is within the world to make people whole and that he can makes anyone’s live into a diamond, even when there spirits as dirty as coal. 

We are forgiven so we don’t need a sacrifice, because we are seen as valuable treasures in his eyes.

" inspiration from Hebrews 10:14-18"

Thank you for your support, and thank you for the recognition. To God be the glory honer and credit, For by his word and by his son's sacrifice we are made holy and pleasing; and nothing can take that away.
