Putting the nails through the arms of my Master.

Been doing my devotions on Hebrews the past few days.
Was just reading Hebrews and felt really humbled by what was mentioned in Heb 6:4-8 about people who have fallen away.

I don't want to be the one that puts the Lord to open shame. I remember a line from a song that goes something like, "Do you still feel the nails, everytime I fail?" ,

The passage also goes on to mention about that even though the ground is watered, that it still yields thorns and thistles is a warning to me.

At the same time, the earlier promise in Heb 4:16 that comes to mind is, that as we draw near with confidence, we receive the grace and mercy needed.

Fraught with weakness, but held in the firm,strong arms of the Lord.
