Questions

Mingle the tears of the sinner with the cross of the Savior and the result is a joyful escort out of the canyon of guilt. Max Lucado
Guilt can way you down, cause sleepless night's and untold agony. So after fighting the pride of self I must come to the conclusion I am wrong, deal with it and move on. But what happens when someone has wronged you for no reason? What happens if you point blank get cut off from all communication with someone and you don't have a clue as to why this happened? What happens if the one you love and cherish one day just up and turns their back on you and walks away?  And zip, nada...they don't love you anymore? They say it takes two tango. But I beg to differ. Sometimes there is only one person left dancing . I can deal with my guilt, my sin , my shame. But how do I live with the rejection of another human being?
And I have to look at my Savior and think how does he feel when we just walk away from him. He has done no wrong, yet we reject him. We close our ears ,thoughts and minds as to what he has to say. Is it because we cannot see or don't want to see the darkness that we have brought upon ourselves? Or do  we justify our thoughts in comparison to our rights ? Guilt ,rejection, fear, loss can all lead us away from the Savior. I must come to the cross with my burden and leave it at the foot of Jesus. And I am again reminded that the cross was not an easy thing for our Savior to bear. But he did so that I don't have to. He washed it all away, every evil deed, every evil thought. As I lay awake another sleepless night I must leave my heavy heart to God, and believe that His way is perfect and that He has me in the palm of his hand always.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31
