I have so much to write, I don’t know where to start, I feel
like my head is bubbling over with blog ideas and stuff that just needs to be
on paper and not in my head. My life right now is a mix of emotions, I’m so
happy, yet so sad at the same time. I’m have been going through a painful
ordeal and I’m was doing everything possible to keep from going down
under..you know, emotionally. Then I re-discovered the power of prayer and
truly sought God who has shown me such amazing grace. I had been trying too
hard to do what I couldn’t do for myself. As the pastor said this past Sunday,
grace is God doing for you what you cannot do for yourself. I can tell you for
sure that being the type A person that I am and the researcher in me, I have
tried many solutions, experimented, rewritten the hypothesis on my life and on
happiness- all in vain. All my efforts to make myself a great and happy person
have ended in frustration.
Then Grace came along..actually God had been pursuing me all
along it’s just there was so much noise in my life I had learnt to ignore him.
But when I finally realized that my efforts were pointless and I surrendered to
God, I found grace waiting happily, with open arms. All I can say is I don’t
know why I didn’t try this sooner. I believed all along that God is a good God
who sacrificed his son but I had forgotten that I needed to access this grace
on a daily basis. With my human nature and all the craziness of this world, I
need grace continually to escape temptation, greed, laziness, name it, I need grace to save me from myself!
Thank you Jesus for not giving up on me and pursuing me
constantly, because of your grace, I am happy today, not because everything is
going well, but because by your grace I have found comfort and contentment.
Today I choose to rejoice despite my circumstances, because your grace is
sufficient for me and your power is made known in my weakness. I believe in your
power God, that you have a great plan for my life. T’is so sweet to trust in
Jesus.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my
weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 Cor 12:19
