You may not completely understand what God did, but you can completely praise Him for doing it.

On Passover, which starts at sundown on April 12, real human flesh and blood – Jesus’ – hung on an execution stake. One of the reasons was to give us the ability to come into the very presence of God…with confidence. Hold onto that word, confidence.

Let’s be honest. We know we sin. We hurt the Father. We dishonor Jesus. We suppress the Spirit. Because of this, we should be ashamed of ourselves. And with shame comes cowering, not confidence. With shame comes running away from and hiding, not confidence.

Scripture, though, reveals that by Jesus’ human blood shed on Passover, we can enter the Father’s presence with confidence. We can shout for the entire universe to hear, “Daddy, here I am!”

Mind you, this is not in heaven when we become like Jesus. No, it is here on earth where our human and stored flesh still battle with the Spirit. Are there things we are currently doing that we are not very proud of? You know the answer.

Yet, the Father sees the blood on the door frame, which took place on Passover (Exodus 12). I find it interesting, though, the ancient Hebrew pictures the upper part of the door frame as a window.

Therefore, God’s answer to your answer is, “I see everything in your life. Everything. Not some, but everything…including the blood of Jesus, my Son. His blood covers everything, I mean everything. Am I emphasizing “everything” enough for you? So, let go of your shame and enter My presence with confident assurance. Come on. Come into My presence with thanks.”

Why not spend more time thanking Jesus for what He did for you than feeling shame for what you did to Him?

You can start right now. Ask forgiveness for what you did. Thank Him for what He did; and then, acknowledge your Father’s presence in your life. Here’s a hint. Talk less to yourself and more to Him.
