I was reading at lunch today the chapter titled "The Everlasting Covenant" in the book "Blessings and Covenants" by Andrew Murray. This is his closing paragraph... "Let me speak to every reader who would gladly BELIEVE all that God says. Cherish every whisper of the conscience and the Spirit that convicts of sin......as part of the schooling that is to bring you to Christ... The New Covenant is meant to meet the need for the power of NOT SINNING that the Old could not give. Come with that need. It will prepare and open your heart for all the everlasting Covenant provides.
"And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good, but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me" - Jeremiah 32:40
This past weekend God brought to my attention that I had been holding my husband's attitude towards me on a particular issue against him. So whenever the issue got mentioned, I wasn't able to discuss it like I should have been. I instead felt 9 years worth of hurt all over again and responded to him out of that hurt. I praise God for letting me know I needed to FORGIVE him. What freedom when I forgave! I praise HIM for being so faithful to correct me & let me know when I am wrong. Unforgiveness was continually harming us - over such a silly issue even. Let the healing begin!!! :-)
