Your Crime is Worse Than Mine

"It's sad to hear guys speak proudly about their crime compared to other crimes. It is no secret that many people feel that sex crimes are the worse, that those people should be dealt with accordingly, Wow how pious and judgmental some people are, like their crimes didn't affect people, whatever, there are no victimless crimes. What people don't think ( because it takes the spotlight off them) about is the wide spread effect of the drugs they sold and what those drugs did to families, the prostitution that happened to keep ones addiction fed, the disease that spread because of what they allowed their bodies to go through just to get that next high. The theft, hurt and alienation it caused their families. The damage is incalculable." As I read these words written by Chaplain Rioux, it struck me how true this statement is! Have I been doing this very thing? Do you? Let's take a moment to look at ourselves through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to show you any hidden sin, and allow the Spirit to deal with those sins. See y'all, this is where most people hit the brakes. We ask God to search our hearts and " Oh Father help me with this addiction or that problem" then we pick the reigns of our lives back up and try to control it with our own will power! My beloved friends, we must leave our sins at the feet of Jesus! Don't you think the One Who created the Heavens, earth, and you has the power to take you from a sinful rag of a human to a new creature with a robe of pure white!? God loves you! Yes we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God( Romans 3:23) But Jesus came and rescued us! He died while we were sinners! Jesus will meet you where you are. He met me in the county jail, even while I planned to take my own life because of the people I'd hurt. I guarantee putting your trust in Jesus will change not only your way of thinking, but your very life! Is there anything stopping you from giving Jesus Christ the reigns if your life?
