I write a lot when I’m down, but today I thought I
would write when I’m up. I recently messed up big time. Something that I had
done followed me and was attacking my inner peace. Even after writing the
previous post about accepting freedom and leaving guilt behind, I was feeling pretty
down. But I prayed consistently putting all my worries, anger….laying them all
out to God because I know he is the only one who can give peace.
I am a witness that God is faithful and his grace is
sufficient for whatever step of life we are in. I am just beginning to peel the
layers of understanding how truly loved I am. God cannot do any more for me
than what is already done. He paid the ultimate sacrifice. God could not love
me any more than he does right now. He doesn’t love me less when I’m straying, and
he doesn’t love me more when I’m being “good”.
When we meditate on his word, he reveals himself to
us. I think it is because we are still and waiting upon him. I recently joined
this inductive Bible study. Even though I just met these fellow believers, whenever
we study the word of God and dig deeper not only I’m I encouraged, I have
realized how “sweet” the Word of God is for lack of a better word. The book of
John showing Jesus’ life just leaves me speechless at how amazingly cool Jesus
was. But above all, full of grace, wisdom, holiness and really focused on
fulfilling his mission on earth based on God’s love for us.
God is love. Accept that, ponder on it, apply it.
Ephesians 3:16-19
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may
strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being
rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know
this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all
the fullness of God.
