One question


I used to think, I was such a 'good girl' and hence the reason why God loved me, and as a result, the reason I had such a good life. I sometimes judged others thinking they must have done something so terrible and maybe the reason why God was punishing them... I couldn't have been more childish, naive and so wrong. However this was my attitude for such a long time. Till I went through trials I thought I didn't deserve and also, made some wrong choices and was faced with the consequences. Realizing my mistakes, I turned to God in the peculiarity of my situations  and each and every single time, God turned my story around in such a marvelous way that I finally understood 'I am who I am purely by the Grace of God. I knew clearly that the turning of events to favor me wasn't about me or what I did or didn't do but purely and solely by His Grace. 

Yesterday in service, I began to ponder on my life and everything I had been through and I began to see His mighty saving grace, constantly at work in my life. I was indeed humbled to say the least. He looks past my ignorance. Through tests and trials, sins and forgiveness, even when I have absolutely no hope, every single time He helps me. I was convinced that God really loves me. He really loves me and wont give up on me.

This reality filled me with a sense of humility, gratitude and thankfulness. I was so overwhelmed as I began to see things a lot differently. Everything became clear to me how merciful He is and has been towards me just because He loves me. I was left with one question burning in my heart. How can I please you with my life? after the many times You saved me, the many times you forgave me, uncountable times you rescued me, I realize this life of mine belongs to you. 


PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your love for me. I am deeply grateful. Please Father, as the days go by help me to know oh so clearly how I can live this life for you. How I can be of service to you. As I say this I fear that I may not be able to meet up with what You will require of me but I put this fear upon You; upon your Mighty awesome power. I put this desire in Your able hands I pray that in your infinite power and awesome glory, that you put my fears to rest and grant me the desires of my heart in Jesus precious name. Amen.
