🌊'"Floating" Over My Sins!'🚣🏻‍♀️

💛🏖🌊 As, I begin writing this post for August, I find myself enjoying our annual family vacation - oceanfront style❣️Whenever, I post this, David and I, shall have (hopefully-😂) already celebrated our 36th. wedding anniversary, which, hits July 24th. (MY, OH MY-😳)‼️My poppa's birthday is August 7❣️"Gracious sakes," HOW I miss that man❣️😪 Just this morning, I blogged my JULY blog-post, in Jesus' name, praying that, God uses it to bless whomever HE so chooses❣️Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the birthday of one of my "BFF'S" (the one that I meantioned in my last post), and, I'm thrilled to report that, we DID get to enjoy a visit, whenever, she came home to our hometown, before, I left for vacation❣️I feel so happy, thankful, and blessed, etc. that, our special friendship remains intact, despite, "slews of," changes and seasons, individually, throughout its forty plus years❣️We can always "pick up right where we left off," as they say❣️😃💖 It was truly WONDERFUL seeing her "in person," after years of only seeing her via social media pics❣️My favorite middle aged "activity" (inactive) to "DO" while on vacation, is sitting on the balcony (always oceanfront), while, drinking coffee, listening to, watching, and smelling, all of the beach/ocean's, sounds, sights, and scents, and, chilling, with my family.❣️🌊🐬🐳 For years, before the pain in my back got pretty bad from walking, I was usually the first one to go down to the beach each morning, and, the last to finally "call it a day"❣️Nowadays, surprisingly to me, I find myself in a different season of life, where, I go out on the balcony as early in the morning as I'm able, each a.m., prior to "the crew" arising, and, "take in" as much of God's creative gifts, as possible❣️But, I cannot fathom the greatness to match the glorious beauty, in which, HE faithfully displays, in HIS creation, which, never fails to wonderfully stimulate my senses, helping me - to not miss, too awfully much, literally being down there, with my "toes in the sand" (I never did like the "feel" of the sand on my skin, anyway😘!)❣️Maybe, next Summer, if, The Good Lord, permits, I'll be stronger, have less pain, and shall, have the desire, and, make myself journey down there⁉️😙 "IT COULD HAPPEN"❣️😘🙏🏼Oftentimes, whenever, I am considering thoughts about the ocean, I think not only about its Awesome Creator, but, I also, with exceeding thankfulness, am reminded that, my sins (past, present, and future), have been cast by my GOD, into the depths of the sea, never to be remembered again, forgiven and forgotten (purposefully and intentionally by GOD), forevermore, as have been - ALL of BELIEVER'S SINS (past, present, and future, because, whenever, JESUS nailed them to the CROSS, they were ALL in the future)❣️This is the subject matter, on which, I'm going to "camp," for the remainder of this post (HEBREWS10:14)❣️It absolutely amazes me that, ALL of my SINS (past, present, and future) are in that deep sea, about which, I just wrote, ESPECIALLY, CERTAIN SINS (PSALM 103:12, MATTHEW 26:28, ROMANS 4:6-8, 5:8+9, 1 CORINTHIANS 6:20, EPHESIANS 1:7, 2:13, COLOSSIANS 1:12-15, HEBREWS 9:12-14)‼️😔 My wonderful GOD CHOOSES to, FORGIVE and FORGET, ALL of my SINS (HEBREWS 8:12, 10:17)❣️✝️ Actually, in HIS foreknowledge, HE knew each soul who would, in the future, receive CHRIST JESUS, as his/her Savior, also knowing, what SINS (specifically) HE WOULD be casting in the depths of the sea, after, they would be nailed to 'The Old Rugged Cross'⁉️ DEEP⁉️ 😳✝️ How about that, my precious (to GOD) sister and/or brother, "in The Lord"⁉️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 If, you are not a Believer, you can be (ISAIAH 1:18-20, ROMANS 3:23+24, 6:23, 9+10)‼️I am very happy to report to ya'll that, overall (body, soul, and spirit), I am doing a little better, than, I was while on vacation last year, which, encourages me tremendously, and, motivates me, to not give up on TRYING to, do and be, a better ME❣️🙌🏼 "Thank you," sincerely, to anyone who prays for me❣️✝️ It is now, Saturday, July 6 (my maternal grandmother, Nanny's, birthday - may she RIH)❣️😔 Praise The Lord, we had a great family vacation, and, we all made it home safely❣️My favorite part of this year's vacation was our annual tradition of watching the fireworks from our balcony - as a family❣️The kiddos love it, and, I love watching them love it❣️This year's display was the best, in which, I've witnessed, along the astonishing Atlantic Ocean's coast, in my humble opinion❣️I hope that, one day, they'll cherish the memories of, these and other times, spent as a family❣️Okay, so, back to our SINS being cast by God, behind HIS "back," into the depths of the sea❣️🌊Maybe (just a thought), HE casts them into 'The Bermuda Triangle'⁉️🌊🤔The Scriptures say that, GOD delights in showing us MERCY (MICAH 7:18+19)on w, and, for this, I am eternally grateful❣️Aren't you,   Believer⁉️I find it IRONIC that, we love to GO to the ocean on vacation, etc., with it being where our SINS are buried, and that, The Lord, LETS us (mainly for selfish reasons) enjoy it❣️It is though, we, sinners (saved and/or unsaved) are triumphantly celebrating LIFE, and "sort of" "dancing" over our SINS, as GOD, mercifully, allows, and even, satisfactorily watches, faithfully letting the waves, tides, seasons, and everything, in which, HE put into motion - thousands of years ago, to continue❣️🌊🌎💞HE has given us SO many AWESOME gifts (oceans, sun, moon, trees, etc.) to enjoy, here on earth, knowing all the while that, Adam and Eve would FALL, and, most of the people (also HIS creation), shall never acknowledge HIS, gifts and goodness in giving them to us for our enjoyment, mainly❣️HE even put us (human beings) in charge of it all (GENESIS 1:26), knowing Adam would "FALL"❣️❤️🐦 It's Wednesday, July 10, and, I'm out here on the deck, again, doing my devotions, and, right after I posted my blog-post for July, three magnificent looking Cardinals flew past me❣️There is no question in my spirit that, God   orchestrated that flight❣️😘🙌🏼💜 My being praises HIM❣️❣️Thursday:  I feel good that, my GRACIOUS LORD, helped me get to 'Bible Study,' yesterday evening❣️🙌🏼💜 I was just thinking about the matter of our SINS all being in the depths of that sea, and, I couldn't help but wonder about how there is room for anyone else's with ALL of mine being there⁉️⁉️🤔 Think about this:  each and every single SIN of every single Believer, whom, shall ever be 'SAVED,' is somewhere in the depth of the sea, so, MAYBE, our SINS are ALL buried in the deepest parts of all of the oceans around the world (just a thought)⁉️⁉️🤔 LIFE LESSON:  BELIEVER - do your best to LIVE for JESUS, and, never forget that, after JESUS nailed each of your SINS to the CROSS ('PAID - IN FULL' ✝️❣️), GOD, casted ALL of them in the depth of the sea, and, LET this fact FREE you to LIVE in HIS outrageous LIBERTY (remember that, GOD keeps ACCURATE records, too)❣️And, just like many of HIS other works, this is, also, a legalistically, finalized and recorded, in "Heaven's accounting book," transaction, and, therefore, is a FACT)❣️The transaction has already been recorded in one of HIS completed books, therefore, it is a "DONE DEAL")❣️In my post for June, I wrote that, during this season of my life, I kind of feel as though, I am stranded - out in the middle of the ocean, too tired to make it to the other side, which, is still true, however, I have a little bit more of hope, now, than, I did, then (thank God)❣️I'm encouraged even more as I write this post in respect to being stuck out in the middle of the ocean, in that, knowing - I continue to float, by HIS GRACE, over ALL of those SINS that, are "buried" many miles under me ("if, you will")❣️A few minutes ago, while browsing through 'Pinterest,' I came upon a 'pin,' which, correlates perfectly with this post‼️It shows an up close picture of the surface of some , somewhat, calm (very small waves) ocean water, with the sun setting, in the background, with the words, "JESUS PAID IT ALL," written above the surface of the water.  It was undoubtedly meant for me to see it!  I'd never seen it - until this evening (1 CORINTHIANS 6:20, 7:23)❣️It's the "tiny," undeserving "gestures of love," such as this, that, intrigue, amaze, and bless me, about my Lord, in which, HE, unexpectedly bestows upon me, with impeccable timing❣️🕊Seeing that 'pin,' also, somehow, let me know, by The Holy Spirit, within my spirit, that, I am "on track," with this blog-post❣️It was NOT a coincidence❣️HE knew that I NEEDED to see it❣️HE has a way of conveying things to me, reminding me of truths, such as, whenever, I "feel" as though, I've really messed things up in my life, that, at the precise moment, of which, I'm thinking it, reinforcing to me the truth, which is:  I have not, that, everything is EXACTLY as it is supposed to be, and that, NOBODY is capable of permanently messing up HIS providentially created plan❣️HE has already considered every scenario, which, shall occur in human history, therefore, NOTHING "catches HIM by surprise"❣️And, HE IS GOD - after all❣️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 HIS gentle, personal, and special way of communicating with me, this clueless (at times), imperfect, selfish, clay bound soul,  "BLOWS MY MIND (of flesh, and, SO LIMITED)"❣️🌊It is "NO WONDER" that, periodically, the oceans form storms, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc., considering ALL of that SIN, which, is brewing at their floors (just my humble opinion)‼️🌊🌪After all, SIN cannot ever condemn us, because, JESUS condemned it for us  (Believers)❣️✝️ SIN is destructive, and, of course, satan ("the prince and  power of the air"), and, his forces, are going to use it to try to steal, kill, and destroy (JOHN 10:10)‼️😈👿👹👺💩🤣🤣🤣 Well, I've "rambled" on enough in this post‼️So, in conclusion, I suggest that, those of us, whose, SINS are in the depths of the sea, BE grateful to JESUS that, they are❣️And, IF, you are not a Believer, trust JESUS as your Savior, and then, your SINS have been cast down there, also, and, you'll be free, and, VERY relieved, along with MANY more blessings, in which, one receives, whenever, one gets 'BORN AGAIN'❣️✝️😘🙌🏼🙏🏼 I find it somewhat strange that, inexplicably, having confidence in the fact that, ALL of my SINS have already been buried in the sea's depths, somehow, gives me, desire and motivation, to attempt to LIVE in such a way as to please my merciful, loving, gracious, ETC., Heavenly Father❣️"Who knew" that, HIS GRACE (through CHRIST), would result in this⁉️..HE did (ROMANS 2:4b)❣️...HE truly IS a GOOD, GOOD FATHER❣️❣️✝️🙌🏼💜 HE'S SO "doggon" GOOD to me that, it makes me NOT want to hurt HIM, nor, let HIM down, although, I frequently DO❣️😔 The soul stirring song, in which, the group, 'Casting Crowns,' sings, entitled,  'East to West,' comes to my mind, as I think upon this subject matter❣️I, also, love the southern Gospel song, entitled, 'My God Forgets' (songwriter - Jerry Bennett)🎶❣️You might want to "take a listen," because, I'm certain that, both of these songs shall minister to you❣️🎶🙏🏼💞💞💞 Recently, I read a 'Pinterest' 'pin,' which, stated (no author was credited), "FORGIVE...YES! FORGET... NEVER!"  This accurately depicts the way most human beings think‼️I, for one, am ever SO grateful that, "GOD'S ways are NOT like man's ways"‼️Regrettably so, EVERYTHING about "MAN," is "STAINED" by "SIN" ('The Fall of Adam,' aka, 'The Fall of the Human Race')‼️How incredibly cool it is that, because, I am a 'born again Believer,' 'The Holy Spirit' enables me to, also, have the capability, to CHOOSE to, forgive and forget, and then, HE assists me, with literally doing it❣️As, I was finishing up this post, a couple days ago, while sitting out on the deck, my gracious LORD, blessed me (God ((hugged))), by my witnessing, in the back yard, a "mini creature wonderland" (Cardinals, Hummingbirds, and other bird species, rabbits, squirrels, etc.), confirming to me, within my, spirit and soul, HIS stamp of approval❣️Also, HE reminded me that, I don't need to see Cardinals, nor, any other physical creature or object (white feather, etc.), to know with 💯confidence that, HE, HIS, angels, etc., are ALWAYS with me, and, ABUNDANTLY caring for me, and, mine❣️I seriously hope that, you are SURE of this, also, dear reader (study The Bible, pray, meditate, if, you need assurance with this)❣️😘🙏🏼📖🕊✝️💞💞💞(MICAH 7:19)...👋🏼...until next post...
