Check out today's devo from Proverbs31 Ministries! Pardon Me by T. Suzanne EllerI can't really add anything to it. I hope you take it as it is. The verses mentioned are so powerful and put into simple words whats been on my heart. I want to be a changed person. I don't want to hide my sinfulness, I want to show it to God and ask for His forgiveness. I don't want to go deeper in the mud, I desire for Him to pull me out of this pit, to give me victory. He gets ALL the GLORY! Not because of me, but because of the strength He has put in me by His Holy Spirit living inside my soul. I want everyone to see the power Christ has to turn your life around, to put your feet back on the right path, to free you from your sin and He will never break promises!
This doesn't mean I won't ever face trials and my life will be perfect from now on... NO WAY! John 16:33 says "...In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." We will face trials but we must have courage to face those trials. As for the Lord to prepare our hearts, to strength us. I have to do this daily, I have to make it a habit to rely on Him daily... sometimes moment by moment. I want to dig deeper into His love for me, I want to grow in my desire to be close to Him, I want Him to be my everything, to be my only desire in my life, the only thing that matters, to serve and please my KING!
I am so broken, sinful, and wounded but I am forever changed by the grace of God!
