I Confess

There is a saying, LORD, that a fish is caught by its mouth. In that case, Father, I am happily and blissfully caught. I read it in your Word:

Romans 10:9 (NIV)
"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

So I say it, Jesus is LORD. You got me, Father. And I believe it with all of my heart:

Romans 10:10 (NIV)
"For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

What a cool thought for the coming Valentine's Day, the heart day. With faith in my heart there will be no frustrating the love that I have:

Romans 10:11 (NIV)
"As the Scripture says, 'Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.'"

It does not matter who I am, what I have been, where I came from or when I came to this realization. It does not matter who, period:

Romans 10:12 (NIV)
"For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him;..."

ALL, dear LORD. You said, "all":

Romans 10:13 (NIV)
"...for, 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'"

How far and wide and high and deep is your love.

In this world, Father, confession often means getting caught in the storm of a scandal. With you, confession means forgiveness, blessings and eternal bliss.

Oh, Father. I confess! I confess!

The Department of Justice(?) is not acting on hard core pornography on cable television. Pornography is addicting and pornographers are targeting children to ensure customers well into the future. We need to protect children from these predators.
