Wicked and Amazing Savior.

I was going through my word documents and found some things I had written over the last year, and I think I will post them.

Wicked
9/25/08
Today is just one of those days that I realize what a wicked human I am. I sin constantly and deserve nothing. It also means its one of those days that I see grace from my Savior and realize how blessed I am and how lost I could be.
Moments like these make me think of Romans 7:11-25. "What a wicked man I am". That leads me to think of Romans 8:1: "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus".

Oh how blessed i am even in my worst moments

Amazing Savior
I don't know the exact date
(Fall 2008)

My Savior is so amazing! He has blessed me so much this past year. Its hard to believe its been almost a year or a few months shy since the "change". Its hard to believe I ever lived the way I did, that I thought the way I did, and I thought it was okay, that I was doing pretty good with life and pleasing God.
Thankfully I've learned that I can't. I'm not pleasing, nothing I do is right if I don't have God at the forefront of my life. I used to think it was about me, about me and God. Then it hit me hard that its so not about me. Life is purely about God and His glory. I'm just blessed to be able to be a part of it. He is teaching me so much and transforming me completely. I don't know that anyone would recognize who I am today compared to who I was. Now I am his.

I used to think everything I did was okay because God gave grace. right? I used to think a lot of things that were skewed..
That’s when I came across the lovely verse that is Romans 6:1
Now its different. There is a want to please God, to do what He commands. The sin lurking there is now sickening, where as it used to be no big deal.

I see now that If I’m truly the Christian that I say I am, its living the life of one. Its not just a prayer. Its a lifestyle, an eternity, a passion for Christ, a need to be with him. A need for Christ to fill you. Christ will shine through you, and you will have joy in Him, and ONLY in Him can you find that joy.

My Savior is amazing.

---Let my life shine, come and let my heart shine
We’re going to walk the world and lift the bread and wine
Like the stars shine, come and let our hearts shine
In a dark world, we lift the bread and wine
