Matthew 9:12-13 On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
The religious don't understand the concept of mercy before sacrifice. The Pharisees thought their good works, their prayer time, their flee from sin would make them better people. But Jesus didn't and still doesn't want the righteous attitudes but the real ones. He wants the crying and humble hearts.
When Jesus called us to be His own, He didn't want those people who needed to be right or perfect but wanted who knew they sin all the time and can deal with it. I had to learn that the hard way. I always tried to be perfect and fit a certain mold and when I didn't or when others didn't, it was over. God wasn't with me or with them. Christianity was in a box for me and i was missing out on a world that God wanted me to see. Not necessarily one i had to follow but just see so i could relax and be free.
Lord,
I know you wanted me to see different things but at times i took it too far and for that I am sorry. I want to be free yet pleasing to you. Help me to see you in all that i am a part of.
I forever love you.
Amen
