Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my little online home...I have been overwhelmed by God's unconditional love and grace and enjoy writing about what God is teaching me... In 2025 I am writing meditations on Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich. God used this book to encourage me so much in my life. If you are not interested in this, feel free to read some of my posts from previous years! Blessings to you and have a great day!

No Blame or Wrath in God

"The doom of Holy Church.... by this doom methought I understood that sinners are worthy sometime of blame and wrath; but these two could I not see in God."

Julian of Norwich (Ch. 45)

From the human perspective, we see that we do things wrong. Human or religious  legal "judgment" calls for a guilty verdict, condemnation of people as sinners, and wrath and punishment. Yet these things are not in or from God! These things are just not found in our loving, gentle, forgiving God and Father. God shows us the secret - we are not under law (which condemns and punishes) but under grace (which heals and blesses). He is not calling us guilty sinners, He is not condemning or blaming us for sin, He is not wrathful or punishing.  Our tender Father God is only radiating love and kindness and gentleness toward us, forgiving us, calling us innocent and sweet, and lifting us up with healing and help whenever we get into trouble or mistakes. He is radiating Grace, not Law. He only cares about helping us, not punishing us. He sees the inner beauty and innocence that we sometimes cannot see. He doesn't look at our sins but at our belovedness as His children. To God we are not worthy of blame and wrath and punishment as sinners. To God we are worthy of love and help and blessing as His dear children!

I swear an oath not to be angry with you or punish you.

Isaiah 54:9 (GW)

A Prayer: I feel safe with You, knowing You will never get angry with me, blame me, condemn me, or punish me!

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
