Stopped at a Green Light

So there you are, stopped at a green light. The door is open, the way is made, the grace is given, the forgiveness is yours. Yes, the light is green. But there you are, stopped, unable to move forward, stuck in the struggles of yesterday, enslaved to the fears of tomorrow.

It happens.

When your mistakes hold you captive to shame. And the situations you are in demand your attention and devotion, all out of guilt. So that you become stuck, struggling to complete just one request, finding your heart slave to fear and anxiety, and your emotions weighed down with burdens and worry.

And there you are, stopped.

When the door is open. The light is green. The way is made. Already.

Because remember, there you are, loved.

The Creator of this Universe made a way for you to come to Him because He loves you. Yes, there you are stuck, but do not forget that there you are, loved. Loved with a great and unconditional love.

Because, it’s true, the door is open, the way is made, the grace is given, the forgiveness is there. All for you. The Father has sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world (1 John 4:14). All for you.

Jesus is the door. He has made the way; He is the Way. He offers grace. He has forgiven you.

Yes! The light is green, all for you.

Christ Jesus “…came that [you] may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). He is “…the good shepherd [Who] lays down his life for the sheep [for you] ” (10:11).

Come and see what great love!

The light is green!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5). Submit to him, and he will make your paths straight (3:6). He is the good shepherd Who lays down His life for His sheep (John 10:14,15). This is great love! Amen.

The Lord Himself, the Faithful One, the Holy One of Israel, He has turned the light to green for you. He has chosen you and given you life (Isaiah 49:7). You are loved. The light is green. You can move forward into Christ. Come to Him and see what great love!
