"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3:18).
Understand that we're all drowning and that Jesus is the lifeguard who swims out to rescue us. If you believe that Jesus is not capable of rescuing you or if you believe that He is out to harm you, then you may swim away from Jesus. To do so is to turn away from the only chance that you have to keep from drowning. Apart from Jesus' intervention, you will drown--you are already drowning. The eternal consequence of sin is death and separation from God. To push away from life (Jesus) is to embrace death (the absence of life). You are consequently judging and condemning yourself through your own actions. The only hope is the Lifeguard--Jesus!
Today, allow yourself to be rescued by Jesus. Don't push away no matter how scary it may seem. Let me suggest that you take a moment and close your eyes and picture Jesus coming to your rescue. Picture him rescuing you from your sin, your circumstances, and your confusion. Let His rescue be your prayer today.
