A Mighty Stallion

You’re simply not good enough to get into Heaven.

Your God does not save you because of what you’ve done. It would be fairly unimpressive to have a god who saves us because of our works. It would be a heartless god that would offer this gift to one with the ability to talk their way, or bribe their way into salvation.

It is a great God who would save us because we can’t save ourselves. We are a weak people. You left the side of God when you entered the world. As we live, God gives us the free will to choose to live with Him or without Him. Some choose to stay away from His side for longer periods of time than others, but eventually everyone will long to find their way back to His hip. Either in this life or the next, everyone will bow before Him.

What an amazing gift that is given when we surrender…give up…wave the white flag. We live in a self-serve world. In our lives, we can live sufficiently all by ourselves. Self-serve ice cream, self-serve gas, self-serve check out, self-serve bill pays, and on and on. But salvation is not self-served. Your feeble attempts at self-salvation are over. It’s time to lay everything on the table. Empty your pockets before the Lord, and acknowledge that you are spiritually bankrupt without Him.

Unpuff your chest, believing that you are worthy of this gift. You’re simply not. Is your way working for you? How are you doing without the unconditional forgiveness offered by your Creator…and He is your Creator, you just haven’t broken yet. You’re still that unbridled, uncontrolled stallion wandering aimlessly. It’s time to break, and yield control to the One who made you. Become a stallion filled with His Spirit. Never before could you imagine a nobler steed.

You will be refilled with a love never experienced before and a love impossible to acquire without the infusion of the Holy Spirit.

Brokenness becomes greatness.
