15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin. 

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. -Hebrews 4:15-16

God bless you and good morning. This morning I was doing my usual piddling, anyone beside me piddle? When to my heart came a song that I hear often. In the song, and I don’t know the name, the young man was talking about being honest with self and certainly with the Lord. 

Oh how often we put on the perfect “saint face”, you know the one of perpetual smiles and praise the Lord responses without any sincerity. 

Though there is nothing wrong with being optimistic especially in the face of our haters, but in the words of Shakespeare “To thine own self be true”, at the least when alone in your prayer garden. 

We must know that we are not alone at anytime and in that place, be honest. And further no failure or fault will cause the Lord to reject us when we sincerely repent before Him. 

The old congregational hymnal name “There is no friend like Jesus”, calls our attention to the in-depth sacrifice of our Lord. Not only did He suffer the stripes for our healings, the chastisement for our peace and wounds for our iniquities, He also faced every human condition and defeated them all. 

His familiarity grants Him the titles and privileges to hear our pleas and to act as our advocate. 

But as He is sovereign and has granted us dominion, He will not force us into His court to plea our case. All we have to do is take it all to Him in prayer.
