Day 19

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

This is the song we sang tonight. It blessed me so much to sing, and with all my heart and voice. I'm so bless to not have to fear that someone might hear me sing and persecute me for it. So so blessed.

"And this is love,that we walk according to his commandments..." - 2 John 1:6

Love is obeying a set of rules? Or is is walking with You? God sometime the temptations of my heart are so heavy and trying that it seems like I don't love you. What then? Do I not love you? I believe in the scriptures... I believe you when you say "that everyone who has bee born of God does not keep sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him" - 1 John 5:18

God I thank you for not allowing me to be harmed...tempted and tried, I'm oft' made to wander.. but surely I stand... if God is for us, who can be against us?

God you are all powerful! I thank you that there is no one greater than you.

I thank you for conviction. God convicted me on my pass trip that I need to smile more, and be more intentional about my relationships and interactions that involve people. I found out just how easy it was to forget about these things as I went through my day. I went to the store and totally forgot that about smiling or asking the lady about her day... I was much more focused on me and about my wants and needs.
God help me.... help me smile. I have the greatest joy and more blessings than I can even count, I should be just overflowing with your joy!  I want people to see the light of Christ in me.
