"Here to adore you for all of my days. I come before you with honor and praise."
God of the Heavens. You shine down. You reign. Let God be true and every man a liar! God you are true, you are Holy just .. and yet you are a God of mercy. I thank you for the free gift of salvation that you have offered me. Jesus, I thank you for taking my place and suffering, for being cut off from your Father so that I wouldn't have to ever experience that. Lord, I was struck by this today... you say this when you see me - "This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased."
WHAT!??? Beloved Son? Well pleased? ME???? How can this be?
Another thing that you showed me.
"Live as people who are free not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God"
You gave me freedom so that I could be a servant? You gave me the gift of freedom in you so that I could serve you? God I hadn't really thought about it like that. I am completely free, and yet... I am your servant. Create in me a servants heart! That I would use the gift that you gave me to bring you more honor and praise. For freedom you have set me free! So I could give you glory, that's why I am free! I AM FREE!
Today I read 1 Peter 2, and Proverbs 24. I went on a prayer walk with one of the team members for Tunisia. I really need to do that more often. I found that even after we were done and I was riding my bike to class, I was noticing the people around me and was praying for them out loud in my head. It was such a great thing. I'm really looking forward to praying for people I see everyday and yet do not know.
