REMOVING STAINS

I LOVE WHITE SHIRTS, BUT I CANT SEEM TO WEAR THEM WITHOUT LOOKING A MESS.  IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT I AM DOING, WHERE I AM GOING OR WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT MIGHT BE.  THE RESULTS ARE ALWAYS THE SAME.  FOR ME, WHITE CLOTHES EQUAL DARK STAINS.   STAINS THAT TIDE STICKS CANT EVEN REMOVE!!!! 
I HAVE A FEW REASONS FOR WRITING THIS "NOTE" TODAY.  A COUPLE OF MY FRIENDS HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A REALLY TOUGH TIME.  I CAN SURELY RELATE TO WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH BECAUSE I WAS IN THE SAME BOAT LAST WEEK.  NO MATTER WHAT WE AS HUMAN BEINGS DO IN OUR DAILY LIVES HERE ON EARTH, SOMEONE WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT.  SOMEONE WILL ALWAYS DOUBT OUR ABILITIES.  SOMEONE WILL BE SURE TO PUSH OUR BUTTONS.  SOMEONE WILL BE ON A MISSION TO SEPERATE US FROM OUR WALK WITH GOD. 
THE DEVIL MIGHT SIMPLY SEND SOMEONE TO REMIND US OF OUR PAST.  HE MIGHT SEND SOMEONE ELSE TO FLARE UP OUR EMOTIONS.  HE MIGHT EASE HIS WAY INTO OUR HOMES AND CAUSE ARGUMENTS. SATAN LOVES TO BRING UP THE PAST.  HE MIGHT GET UP ON OUR SHOULDER AND URGE US TO SIN.  THE DEVIL LOVES CONFUSION.  HE GETS PLEASURE WHEN HE SEES OUR UNHAPPINESS. 

........THE DEVIL LOVES TO SPREAD THE STAIN OF SIN..........

BUT....OUR GOD SENT THE ULTIMATE STAIN REMOVER DIRECTLY TO US!  HE SENT HIS ONLY SON, JESUS CHRIST, HERE FOR THE EXACT PURPOSE OF REMOVING THOSE STAINS CAUSED BY THE DEVIL.  BIG STAINS, LITTLE STAINS, DARK STAINS, EVEN THE LIGHTEST OF STAINS.  GOD LOVES US SO MUCH THAT HE ALLOWED HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THE APPLE OF HIS EYE, TO BE BRUISED, BEATEN AND HUMILIATED FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR SINS! 

JESUS RECEIVED OUR STAINS.  HE CARRIED THEM TO THE CROSS.  HE DIED FOR THESE STAINS. 
HOW DARE THE DEVIL TO REMIND US OF OUR SHORTCOMINGS.  THOSE SINS WERE WASHED AWAY.  THEY WERE PAID FOR IN FULL BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS!  WE ARE ALL NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST!  OUR SINS AND OUR PAST HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY.  JESUS PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR OUR SINS.  AND I CANNOT THANK HIM ENOUGH!!!!

WE, AS CHRISTIANS, HAVE BEEN FREELY GIVEN THE ULTIMATE STAIN REMOVER!  THE POWER OF HIS CLEANSING BLOOD IS AVAILABLE TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US! 

THANK YOU JESUS FOR SPEAKING TO MY HEART THIS MORNING!  I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON!
