John 3:17

My view from "The Chair" this morning - John 3:17.    Have you ever felt judged?  I have.  Sometimes it's by someone who's in authority over me.  Sometimes it's by a stranger. Sometimes it's even by a friend. Often, I have imagined it's by God.  Regardless, it always leaves me feeling like I'm not good enough.  Anyone else with me on this?     As I've pondered this verse these last few days, and the realization of God purposely allowing His ONLY son to take on the "Judgement"  that should be directed at me, makes me speechless.  His ONLY reason for coming was to pay a debt that should be mine.  Words are inadequate to express my gratefulness for this gift.  No longer am I viewed as guilty, but I am seen by My Creator as blameless.  WOWZEE!!! Take a moment right now and ponder this reality.  THIS changes everything for you and I!!  How will you say "Thank you" to your Creator for this amazing gift?  I would love to hear.  Until We Chat Again,  Crystal - The Plank-Eyed Girl
