Well this has been a great week. Its just been an all around happy week. I don’t even know why. I honestly think a lot of it has to do with what I talked about happening on Monday. I think that just set the stage for this week to be amazing. I spent a lot of time this week just smiling and laughing. Its been fun. Ive been enjoying Gods creation, His majesty, and His greatness. I love the feeling I have right now and am hoping to keep this feeling close and never let it go. I was reading through Philippians at work and found a verse that really hit home and kind of sums up all that I have been feeling the past few months. Its from Philippians 2:12-13.
“…So work with fear and trembling to discover what it really means to be saved. God is working in you to make you willing and able to obey him.”
This was and is so encouraging to me. I have definitely been struggling with obey God. I know that I have been saved and forgiven, but I don’t know what that really has meant in my life. I think I am still denying the great affect it has had on me. I am spending more time just getting to know God and take a step back and look at what he has done in my life. I can look back on my past and see where God delivered me for utter destruction. His grace has saved me and I am so thankful. Its so sobering to think about what God has done for me, and yet I spend so much time ignoring His mercy. I spend so much time complaining, being vain, and disappointing God. Yet through all of that He forgives me and continues to work in my life. This scripture is a reminder to me of the grace He has given me.
Lord, I thank you so much for everything You have done in my life. I don’t deserve the grace You have given me and yet I am trying to accept it and do something with it. Help me to be more selfless and be more genuine. I love you!
