Temptation

There are no words to really describe the emotions that I am feeling from the dream this morning. The one thing that is maintaining in my mind is precious words from .

"When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin."

This line gives me the choice. To give in to the temptation to lay in bed and cry and be angry. Or I can look up and see my Lord, who has given me the gift of life. "end of all my sin" !!! All my sin, wow that alot. The "little white" lies, the deception, manipulation, and the evil that spews out from my mouth and heart.

This beautiful song doesn't stop there. It goes deeper to tell of the intense love that God has poured out upon us sinful creatures. I love Him because he first loved me.

"Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me."

O how I long to be in heaven and be "bored" singing God's Glory all day long, forever.

Whether I needed a back to reality look at myself and my distress, or if it was a temptation to despair. I will look upward today "and see Him there, who made an end of all my sin."
