Sharing from my heart!

Not sure how to begin this, but I just want to share some things. Not to glorify myself at all, but to glorify my Creator, my Savior, my Rock, my Heavenly Father. I have been struggling with many things lately. A lot of it has been with all that we are going through at this time. The houses, our living situation, and just other things. I have been struggling with things on the inside as well. God has just been showing me so much lately. I am learning that everything in life is a choice. Why wouldn't it be that way, when God says to us you choose life or death! How powerful is that! I choose life! I choose to serve God all mighty! Each day we have choices. We make the choice in how we treat people, our attitude about situations and so forth. God is willing to help us, but we cast the deciding vote. I choose to live a life worthy of my Creator. I choose to be a blessing. I choose to surrender all control to God and choose to recieve all He has for my life. Will I stumble, will I have moments of my flesh, yeah you bet I will I am human! Thank you Lord for your unconditional love and forgiveness. Each day I choose to serve the Lord and renew my mind I am becoming more like Christ. I am so thankful that God is teaching me these things. He is teaching me that its more about the "shape" my heart is in then what all I can do. That its my relationship with Him, not my works! God's desire for us is to have a relationship with Him. Its my heart! Its my everything that He so desires! He desires that with everyone of His children. For us to be so passionately in love with Him that if we didn't have a single thing we wouldn't even notice b/c God is all we need! Wow! I know growing up there are so many stories in the bible of great men and women and I just thought how "perfect" they were b/c God took care of them. Now that I am older and are going back over those same stories I am learning new things. They were all sinners like me. They called up on the Lord and He saved them. Yes, they still messed up but it was b/c of their relationship and the shape of their heart that God still took great care of them. David, was a man after God's own heart! That man messed up a lot, but God never left Him or forsaked Him. I know now what He did for David He will do for me, you, and anyone else who calls out to Him. Each day God is just revealing more of His love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness to me. How simple, its all because of a choice! I am growing daily in my relationship with God and I want my life to be my praise to my Heavenly Father!

I am currently reading the book Sunset and Sushi by David Crowder- He is the lead singer from David Crowder Band- The book is excellent! He is quite a character and it shows in his book! What he is sharing about praise and what God wants it to be is incredible!

I hope you all have a blessed day! I hope that this can be an encouragement to you as well. To know that serving God isn't a chore, a set of rituals, or anything else, but a relationship! Its a choice! Once you understand what all God has done just for you, you will want that relationship with Him! Because God loves you more than anything else or more than anyone else could ever love you! I just get so excited just knowing what all my God has done for me just to have a relationship with me. He knew me before there was time. He formed me in my mother's womb. He has a plan for my life! He sent His ONLY son to die on the cross for me! He raised him up again and Jesus fulfilled EVERYTHING just so I could have an eternity with my creator! He did the same for you! He knows how many hairs I have on my head! He knows my thoughts and my desires! He knows when I will mess up but He is there to catch me and raise me up again! He knows everything about me and still loves me for who I am! I hope you all know that as well! God has a plan for your life. That its never too late to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. There is NOTHING that His forgiveness and uncoditional can't cover! So I just pray that all of you that read this have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and if you don't that you will cry out to God and ask for forgiveness and for Him to become your personal Lord and Savior! There is nothing more precious or life changing then when you make that decision to be a follower of Jesus Christ! Blessings and remember GOD LOVES YOU!
