I'm not where I want to be in my walk with God, but when I think about where I've been he reminds me that I'm a work in progress. I've fallen before and there's no doubt I'll fall short again in some way. I don't always say the right things, think the best thoughts, or follow through with the smartest of actions. I mess up, I stumble, I make mistakes, and plainly put; I fall flat on my face. I know that every moment of this life he's given me I'm in need of his grace and mercy. "It's me again Lord", I cry when I fall on my knees and each time I hear him whisper, "I've been waiting". I'll never be perfect, never be able to repay all he's done for me, and never be without fault, but he still thinks I'm to die for. (quote on Jessica Deane's facebook)
I'm striving everyday to let my little light shine and sometimes I fail miserably, but no one is perfect and we need to show others the same mercy we expect in return. There's a world in search of someone to love them the way Jesus loves each of us.
Today holding nothing back I want Jesus to Take Over. We believe we can fix "us", that we can fix others, but I realize more the only one who can create the "me" I should be is Jesus. I give up; I surrender all to Jesus. I want to show others all he's done for me - where he's brought me from - where I'd be today if he hadn't rescued me - about his healing powers - how he comforts the lonely - how he's a friend like no other - how his voice speaks to hearts - how much joy he brings - how he's a safe haven - how he died for a sinner like me. I want to serve him and love him with my whole heart. Take Over Jesus
Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. 38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
