The Room

I visited a church yesterday to speak about Hillcrest. It was great. Sometimes I love visiting other churches and hearing the Word through another inspired preacher. (Love Roy.....don't get me wrong) He spoke on learning humbly. Hummmmm. Then he read a story about THE ROOM. He said a man walked into a room and it was completely bare except many card files against one wall. Inside the files were little 3x5 cards with every detail of his life written on them. There were details written on the cards that his memory didn't even remember. But there it was. EVERYTHING. All the good things and all the bad and shameful things. He was devastated as he saw all the things that he had mamanged to forget were still recorded there on the 3x5 cards. Then the man turned around and Jesus was standing there. UGH. He knew he was threw. He knew Jesus was going to condemn him. He knew there was no where to hide with everything written out on the cards. Then Jesus reached in the files and started reading each card. At the bottom of each card where my name was....Jesus wrote His Name over mine in blood. It took him a little while to finish each card then when he covered them all he stretched out HIS hands and said "It is finished". Just beautiful. Then Jesus pointed to the rest of the cards in the files which were blank. He looked at the man and said to fill them up. I am encouraged by the blank cards in my files today.

Dear God, Please help me fill my blank cards with what you want.
