Paradigm Shift

There is no need to differentiate between the desires of your heart and the promises of God because His character is the same behind both.

A necessary paradigm shift that not only filled my heart with so much joy but calmed the unruly thoughts that plagued my mind.  You have certainly found ways to send me roses of all sorts, affirming me of Your unfailing love as You continue to pursue me.

As I journey through this lenten season and witness on a much deeper level your love story with us, I realize that I am building upon the context of our love story.  Lord, though I do nothing to deserve this attention, all the more do you shower me with your graces and mercies.  Your relentlessness is taking down my walls and unlocking rooms in my heart that I forgot even existed.  With each passing day you are awakening pieces of me I was convinced I’d never see again.  You are unveiling a beauty I felt I never possessed.  You are not only making me ‘ME’, you’re making me YOURS.

 

1/52: Gracious God

Walking into 2013, I made no resolutions, I set no specific goals, and I had no expectations.  You could say that I surrendered my proverbial pen and gave way for God to write my next year!  And since He is our creator and author of life, He put together an impeccable story!

It was filled with new adventures and action.  There was mystery and intrigue and even romance, nothing was spared.  2013 came and went like a flash of light; allowing only enough time to live life moment by moment.  When I think about everything that has happened this past year, I’m surrounded by images of people, places, emotions and experiences.  All of which individually different, yet very much the same.  The same because each person and place, emotion and experience were just different ways God surrounded me with HIS love.

How fortunate am I, a mere sinner, to be blessed in such immense proportions? And that’s just it… I am fortunate to have such a gracious God… we all are!!!  Our Lord chooses everyday to love us past our yesterdays and despite our unworthiness.  And its because of that fact that I can boldly walk into 2014 knowing His graciousness will continue to abound in my life.

I pray you are assured of the same truth!

Happy New Year everyone, God Bless you always… =)
