Good Morning!

Are you ready for some more "good news"?  What I want to share with you today, is really an extension to something I
was sharing last week...obviously, the Lord has more to say concerning "condemnation".

God does not want His children living under condemnation, and He does not want them "putting" condemnation on others!  Even though God never "condemns" our behavior, He doesn't always "condone" it...and we don't have to "condone" everything that our children (or other people) say and do, but we should never put them under condemnation about it!

So, this is the way it works:  When we do something that is not pleasing to God, He does not "condemn" us... He just simply "convicts" us!  There is a big difference between "conviction" and "condemnation"!  The Holy Spirit, within us, will just let us know when we are going in the wrong direction, and that we need to make some "changes and adjustments" in that area of our lives.  If we will "submit" to that "warning signal", then He will "instruct" us as to what "changes and/or adjustments" that we need to make...and then He will even give us the "ability" to do it!!  Now, that is GOOD NEWS!!!

Remember... There is NOW no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus, and are willing to "follow after" the leading and instruction of The Holy Spirit!

      Have a Blessed Weekend!!      In His Love, Luanne
