Mar. 1, 2008 - My hearts desire
I did it again! I sinned; I listened to that bad song. I watched that revealing movie, I hung out with the wrong crowd. I took God's name in vain, I lied, I had bad thoughts. And then I hid and shunned God. Doesn't this ever sound like your prayer life. It does for me, more often then I care to admit. Constant forgiveness is never far away with God though. It continues to astound me. His amazing grace is priceless, and yet it was freely given, at the price of His son's life. It's the whole reason I live and breathe. I'm a constant failure. And yet God goes on being perfect, just, and yet forgiving. What an amazing love He has for me, and what mercy He showers upon me. I am unworthy, so worthless and selfish. But it makes me feel so special, the fact that out of all the thousands He chooses not to save; He picked me to save. He makes me special; He pursues me and makes me worth something. Because I have Him as my Father and as my King, I who was nothing is made worth while, in the eyes of God. I am ever so small, and yet I am a daughter of the Most High!! How Glorious, to be in the midst of my Savior for all of time. And I will praise Him and Glorify Him forever and ever. As long as this weary body I inhabit draws breathe. Blessed be the God of my Salvation. For it is my purpose, and the desire of my heart to Glorify God in all that I do. -Kelly (Psalms 73: 25- 28: Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.)

Hello!
:) I saw you added me as a friend, so I came to check out your blog...
Awesome thoughts! So many times I do that too...but, the worst thing for me is that I just keeping doing it, and doing it, and doing it. I never really repent, because sometimes I don't even try to turn away from my sin.
Thanks for inspiring some thoughts in me!
In Christ,
Grace
P.S. I'm going to add you back. ;)

Thanks for that awesome entry! I can totally relate to that. Seems like I'm always asking for forgiveness. And I'm so grateful that he does forgive when we ask for it. ^_^
Have a blessed day,
Sarah
