Journaling for 02.21.13…God’s grace, love, compassion

5:31 AM Psalm 51

Father, from the very beginning of my life, at conception, I was sinful. It's the nature I was born with--the tendency to rebellion; the aptitude for unrighteousness. Yet You are full of grace, love, and compassion. The lie of Satan is that You cannot be trusted…that You are out to get me and can't wait to do me harm. The truth is that You love me and see me as Your child. Even with my rebellion and sin You call me Your own and take pity on my plight in the world's kingdom.

Give me a willing spirit. Do not take Your Spirit from me. I will teach others about Your love, grace and compassion. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.

Let me declare Your praise.

There is so much, Father, that I have to be thankful for. You have been good to me--more than I would ever deserve. Most of all, You have opened my eyes to the gospel and the loving sacrifice of Your Son in my place. Christ, and Christ alone, is the way to You. If only others I know could see this and give their life's priorities over to the King.

I think something is wrong with this site! It's not showing any recent blog posts. Am I looking in the wrong spot?
