Righteous

21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

~Romans 3:21-26 (Emphasis Added)

Thanks to Jesus, God looks at me and see's Jesus. He sees perfection. He doesn't see all the dirty, nasty, sinful things i'm guilty of. God Says I am Righteous, and now I get to live like its true. This means I don't have to prove myself...

Not to God...

Not to my Parents...

Not to Anyone...

I don't have to let my Messiah Complex Rule my life. I don't have to fix everything, for God has "Reconciled all things unto himself". I am actually Free from the weight of sin. Shame is needless. it is against everything Jesus wants from his followers! I'm tired of being Ashamed of myself. I'm going to let God believe I'm Perfect, and i'm going to do everything I can to make it so in my timeline.
