Romans 6:10 “For the death HE died HE died to sin, once for all, but the life HE lives HE lives to GOD.”
One and Done!
Who can forgive the repeat offender of self when it comes to deep wounds which they have inflicted…
…since addictions of sin — both refreshed and rebirthed — still require past scabs to be torn and removed.
Each scar grows as such when one’s sins Self revisits…where seems temporal remorse and decreasing regrets!
But GOD knows each soul whose cries echo most fervent! HE bottles their tears and knows wholly their heart!
So oh CHRISTian embattled by mirrored reminders: oh Child who hears only the curse of the Dark!
Know HIS crimson pardon was fully applied without need for an encore! Rest then in HIS life!
As HIServant eternally joyous that JESUS needed no encore, even for me,

Devotional: Hebrews 9:28 “So CHRIST, having been offered ONCE to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for HIM!”
Simply rejoice then in this truth that HIS finished work and same words said on the Cross…meant exactly that!
When we wholly surrender our will to HIM and admit we can’t even add to the Cross…
…then unequaled Joy is ours without residual shame! That’s HIS promise!
So let us live guilt free from Sin’s shackles to serve HIM faithfully with our best.
Hebrews 9:26 “For then HE would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world.”
“But as it is, HE has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of HIMSELF!”
So! Although we fall at times, even daily, yet!
HE sees our broken hearts…ever holding us in the center of HIS eternal heart and hands!
Amen and amen!
