“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2
Have you ever had a vehicle repossessed? Me neither. So it was a new experience for me to be standing in the middle of a ‘Repo’ yard! Yup…there I was! Assisting someone who had that unfortunate experience, I began wandering around the property looking at the all the cars! Which experience now tells me…is a ‘BIG NO NO!’
Someone had asked if I would drive them to their car so they could retrieve their personal belongings. While waiting, I wandered. Which caught the attention of a couple employees. “HEY… WHAT-A-YA DOIN?” was the question each asked. And NOT in a courteous manner! How was I to know that, just by being there, I was ‘presumed’ to be a guilty, potential threat!?
At one point, another employee walked over and shut the barbed wire gate, blocking any exit. I thought that strange! Then I was told, “stand by your MY vehicle and do not walk around!” Using powers of deduction, I began to comprehend.
I was there to help. THEY thought I was there to steal back a car. I began to empathize, since at NO time in my life have I EVER had the urge to go walk around and look in a repo yard! Visitors to THEIR property ALWAYS pose a threat. To them I was guilty…simply because I was THERE!
It was an uncomfortable feeling! And for good reason. Being a representative of Almighty God for well over 50 years, considerable changes have been made in my character! I have been set free from the ‘GUILT’ label and now enjoy the FREEDOM of INNOCENCE, placed upon me by Almighty God. God knows it…I know it…but sometimes…others might not! And all because of WHERE I physically stand!
I Praise and Thank God that, carrying about a dirty soul and spirit, is NOT my common occurrence. It is a JOY to stand on HIS side of the fence and to be free from any charges the world, flesh or devil may level at me. It is ALSO one of the GREATEST reasons that, if YOU don’t know how that feels, you might want to consider His Son Jesus Christ and His offer of ‘No Condemnation!’
