"Does anybody else get that little dreaded feeling, like a few days after their birthday, that this last year of life was not complete? Like you could have done so much more? Kind of like there is a huge chunk missing from the year, that you could have done something so much different with? I get that every year. I don't even know why. Then I get the feeling like I am already starting to screw up this year. Whatever these feelings are they are foolishness, for I know that the Lord is not going to steer me wrong, and even though it is sometimes painful, life is good. In fact I love life. The only times I don't love it are when I put my eyes on myself, and then I get concerned. Life is insanity without your eyes on the Lord."
Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin problem. As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God and waited for his enemies to cave in. It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people. By that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process. - Hebrews 10:11-14
"I’ll forever wipe the slate clean of their sins." So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into “the Holy Place.” Jesus has cleared the way, so let’s do it - Hebrews 10:17,19,22
