The Holy Spirit has really convicted and humbled me this week. I write as a very broken daughter of God. Something hasn't been setting right in my for a while, now, and i couldn't quite put my finger on it, but God wrapped His arms around me in His grace, and that is what I needed. I have not been gracious or merciful to those around me. I have been quick to judge, as a wall to keep my sin hidden, to not focus on my own sin. I have been prideful, and unforgiving, not considering the grace that I have been given. In need of grace, in need of love, in need of mercy raining down from high above. Talking to my friend Bora, and spending a lot of time with God today, He has shown me, I am a broken child of God. I am not different than any human being in need of God's mercy. Only by abiding in Him, and trusting Jesus, and walking in the Spirit can I live out the life God has set apart for me to live. I have to give my own flesh over, and surrender and submit. It has been a while since I have recognized that fact, and it hit me like a hammer today. Praise the Lord, for He is good to us. I was walking in my old self, not my new self, but the Lord has drawn me deeper into Him, to make my heart like His. Praise the Lord, for he is good. I don't deserve the love that the body of Christ has shown me this week, but they have continued to love me, despite my tempermental and sometimes angry behavior. Praise the Lord for all you guys. Please forgive me.
