His Patience

I read a blog today that reminded me once again of God's patience.

I just had to sit and meditate on this thought for a while. I am in awe of His love. I just have to lift my hands in the air in worship....praising all that He is in my world of failures and let downs, their He sits..... in the thrown room..... with His hand stretched out to pick me back up.... dust me off and sets my eyes before the path of righteousness. Every time I slip and fall, even though I know how to walk, I almost see clearly the rock that I run into...and I fall.....he so patiently and lovingly picks me back up. Never tires in helping me try try again. True adoration of His children. When I think about my own children, I tire in telling them the same things OVER and OVER and OVER again, I speak to them sometimes with condemnation in my voice.....sometimes if I do not see guilt in their face I feel like they have not learned their lesson. wow..... how humbling...... God's love is so powerful and perfect that even though we mess up time and time and time again, he picks us up, with NO condemnation in His sweet voice and tells us to NOT feel guilt....guilt is of the enemy, not of Him. Knowing that we will mess up again, He says,"I knew you would fall, and fall, and fall again.... that is why I sent my little boy to die for you. You could never get to me on your own."

I am excited to be where I am at today..... swimming in a life of forgiveness. I will submerge myself in His word, school, missions, prayer and fellowship.....

Wash over me today, Father. Thank you for your PERFECT LOVE.....given to me freely.... even though it cost you so much. I do not deserve it.....and we both know this.... I am honored, and I will live my life sharing this gift....I will not keep it all to myself....everyone needs to know what an amazing Daddy you are..... Thank you Father.....

Colossians 1:29 "For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me."

Happily Your Princess.....
