Guilt over Grace- Weekly Devotion

Happy Monday everyone! I know these days aren't always the most exciting however, I am here to lift some weight off your shoulders. If you aren't a Christian or don't know God than you often see people who are as rule followers and that is one of the big turn offs for Christianity. People don't want to have to follow rules. 
 
The main reason for this is that people don't want to feel guilty. Many of us Christians however, even though we know God, still see Christianity that way. We go to church and we feel that the pastor just adds another weight on our back and we are sick and tired of feeling bad about our past and we think we have to do something.
 
This isn't however, how God wanted us to view our relationship with him. The key word here is done because God has already paid the price for our sins. Our punishment for all the horrible things we have done was taken by Christ.
 
Some of us need to be less about the do and instead celebrate the done. God's grace is good and we are forgiven!!
 
28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Mathew 11:28-30)
 
I hope all of you have a great week! Talk to you soon!
