their judgment has been paid #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #sin #confession #repentance

do not listen to the lies
of Satan, of the Devil,
of your sinful flesh
your value in the eyes of man…
 
whatever they may say,
even when their reproof is valid,
their judgment has been paid
when Christ climbed the cross…
 
every sin you ever committed,
any evil for which they rebuke you,
all of them have been paid in full,
God alone defines us…
 
our sins do not define us,
our value, our worth in the eyes of God,
their judgment has been paid
when Christ climbed the cross…
 
listen to every reproof,
no matter what their motives,
use them to gain wisdom,
to walk closer to God…
