So I admit it. I've been extremely selfish lately. And for what?
Jesus took my sins. He paid the price for all of the sins I commit. The sins of commission, omission, thought.
ALL of them.
I've come to the point where I've realized just how black my heart is, but also how even in that, trying harder won't fix it.
"When I look at the story, I realize who Barrabus really is. That's me. That's you. That's us."
"I got saved by grade, but now that I'm out of this deep dark place of bondage, I better work hard to get myself out."
The leader of my India missions team, Daniel, was preaching in India on New Years Day. Something he said then still sticks with me.
God wants to give us freedom daily. Daily we go digging
through the trash looking for our problems, and He says,
"What are you doing?
When are you going to believe that I can do what I will say I will do?
When are you going to know that Jesus died for your problems?"
So God, here I am. All of me. Take my life. I no longer want to follow this world or my selfish desires. Show me how I can glorify You best.
I love you!
