Each Spring, my thoughts go immediately to The Cross and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This Season is a precious time for our APM Volunteers who minster in Prison Facilities. It is my joy to pray for all of you, and to recall many MIRACLES!
I remind you of a TRUTH which God gave me in my first Teaching Job. One day a Second Grader came to my desk with a look of apprehension on his face. He held up a wrinkled sheet of paper and asked the SAME question for the 3rd time that day: “Mrs. Leming, can I please have a clean sheet of paper?”
I noticed the paper was torn from erasing too much. I gave him a fresh one and watched as he happily walked to his seat. Later God spoke to me, “Do you realize I will GIVE YOU a clean piece of paper any time? All you need to do is ASK ME.” This TRUTH became a REALITY. I call it our “bar of soap”.
I John 1:9 “For If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
God broke the power of satan at the Cross. He forgives our sins, and washes us clean by the Blood of Jesus. When we CHOOSE to forgive others, we stop the enemy’s plan to steal, kill & destroy. We become free from bitterness, anger, and emotional wounds. God gives us a clean piece of paper…with a new focus on life!
Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
May we learn to come often to our “Heavenly Teacher” to ASK for our clean sheet of paper. God wants to give us hope, peace and healing to finish our assignments!
Jeremiah 30:17 “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds.”
Happy Resurrection Day!
