My wife and I were joking around and chatting, when we started talking about a serious subject but in a very funny perspective. I think everyone should here this.
Do you know how many people call Jesus a liar everyday, I don't either but I bet it's a lot more than most people think.
Think about this: You just answered the alter call, for the first 10 to 15 minutes down at the alter you feel great. You know you have been forgiven, your sins are all washed away and now your a prince or princess, the son or daughter of the Greatest King, God, the Heavenly Father.
You go home, you look around, your in need of some blessings, but before you stop to pray for those blessings you start feeling guilty about the sins you were just given forgiveness for. You decide that you are not worthy to ask so you stop and go about your day feeling guilty. Well, guess what? You just called Jesus a liar and let the devil sneak in and ruin the whole thing for you. God has forgotten all your sins, your acceptance of His Son and His Son's sacrifice just erased your past, the one who won't let go is you. God wants to bestow His gifts on you, He wants to give you your inheritance, you are after all now, a prince or princess and one of God's children.
That's arrogance my friends, that pride talking, that's the devil slipping in and whispering in your ear, see Jesus lied to you, you still feel guilty. Your not worthy.
Jesus said to go boldly to the Father and ask. Jesus said you can't get to the Father except through Him, but since you made that alter call, and you accepted Christ's sacrifice and the Father's gift of forgiveness, you just got that free pass to God.
So go and ask, be bold, talk to your brother Jesus, spend some time chatting away, remember your in, your one of "them" now, heck, your one of "us" now, your the son or daughter of the most powerful King ever, one with no limits to what He can do. Your a prince or a princess.
