Grace

In school, we are studying how we are the image of God. This has been challenging me.  I want to see as Jesus sees me, but that is the challenge I face. As a woman of God wanting to please Him and only Him, but be surrounding by a world who tries to pull me away.

I struggle mostly with my past and the things I have done! I have been ashamed for a long time! I thought God would never forgive me for some of the mistakes I have made! I thought I was worthless and God couldn't use me for ministry. I am a junior now in college and through three years I have struggled with this thought in the back of my mind, until this year, I have learned that I am forgiven, completely! God has shown me that I can turn those mistakes into triumphs!  That I am a piece of the big picture of His kingdom!

So I guess my message is that we are humans,we will get messy and we will make mistakes, some big and some small. But no matter how big you think your sin is, God's grace and love for you is so much bigger! Some how the devil likes to make our sin shrink God, when in reality it's should really be the other way!  I have realize that while my savior was dangling on the cross, bloody and beaten, He didn't died for only certain sins, HE DIE FOR ALL SIN! So I pray that for all of you who are reading this, to remember that when you sin, big or small, God knows, nothing shocks Him! But He loves you more than You will ever know! You may run 1,000 miles away from Him, but He will only be a step behind!
