CONGRATULATIONS

God doesn't relate to you based on your acts - but on Jesus' acts for you.  He came to win what we couldn't win for ourselves.  Because of that, life doesn't need to be this unending, tireless, tiresome effort to validate ourselves.

You no longer have to be right - be rewarded - be regarded - be respected.  You get to be relieved from all that pressure.  Congratulations.

It isn't your responsibility to pass judgment on the verdict of your own life.  That's been done.  You receive Christ by faith - you pass.

'That's been done.'

Because Jesus was extraordinary, you're free to be ordinary.  Because Jesus succeeded for you, you're free to fail.  Because Jesus was Someone, you're free to be no one.

Congratulations.

And be blessed.
