Today I was convicted by all the opportunities we get to share Christ and yet somehow still neglect it, by all the times we know what we are about to do is wrong and yet do it anyway, and by all the chances we get to lavish someone with love and instead tear them down. As my heart ached for a few minutes, God allowed me to see that those times have been forgiven, that He sees our efforts and our attempts, our successes and our shortcomings, and He rejoices over us through it all. He sees our hearts, He knows our needs, He feels our pain, He loves our efforts, and He has the power to erase the past and let us start again. He is truly all we need.
With Him, all things are possible; our pasts have been forgotten, and we have been made new. It is time we start living that! We cannot hang onto our past, onto the mistakes we've made or the missed opportunities. God wants our "now" and we can't be wasting that by worrying about the past. Trust me, He has already taken care of that. Let us move forward, and give God all that He deserves.
Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care.If only you would listen to his voice today!
~Psalm 95: 6-7
He deserves our everything! He desires our lives, our hearts, our love, our service, and our worship. We are called to be His children, and we were made to worship Him. Do not let your hearts be troubled, but rather take hope in knowing He can change our future and is continually working out good for those who love Him!
