If nothing else this week has taught me that I definitly need some polishing done on my Godly shine. I feel that I have made so many mistakes lately. Thanks be to My Heavenly Father, My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit that I am not punished as I deserve as if I were then I would not be alive and nothing of me would remain not even a Ghost. I have done so many things this week wrong that I feel guilty about. I am so glad that God can forgive me even when sometimes it seems like I can't even forgive myself.
Paul said "who can set me free from this body of death?" Then He went on to thank God for saving him from his own faults and sins. In roman times a body of death referred to a method of punishment where the romans would chain a live person to a corpse full of maggots. It is a accurate but gross illustration of just how our sinful life is seen by God.
It makes me wonder why God would bother with a race of beings so disgusting to Him with their sinful ways that we appear as a rotting corpse. Would any of us care for such a thing if we were in our right mind?I think not.
