words change everything.
and if there is anything i am learning the hard way, it is this.
i have been met with some pretty tough and discouraging situations this year,
that have both challenged and changed me.
the gist of it all, is this:
despite my mistakes,
despite my poor choices,
God has shown me faithfulness and He has been good to me.
i've learned that although my words may change another's opinions of me,
it has never once affected God's view of me.
i am learning the wisdom in being quick to listen,
very slow to speak,
and even slower to anger.
i'm learning to extend the grace i give to others, to myself,
to see my humanness and my weakness
and to run straight into abba's arms with it.
i am not my own saviour, and i am not discounted by my shortcomings.
i need people & i need jesus.
everyday, my view of myself and the people He has placed
around me must be based solely on his truth.
i've noticed just how quickly my world falls apart when i am not based in truth
and i no longer need that wake up call.
i think its fair to say that in many ways, the last few months have been the greatest wake-up call because they have challenged what i believe about myself and Jesus, to be true.
but
i am learning
and i am grateful.
&
He is good to me.
