He has been too good to me..and yet each day I feel like I have not live up to His expectation.
But of course we can't be perfect for He is perfect. Still no excuses.
Promises and reminders He has given me, yet at the time of trial, the time to place my faith and confidence in Him I'll get wary. Sometimes I let my emotion get in the way.
Talk is cheap.
...Just now I was extremely angry with my dad for destroying the cake I made for church.
I was angry not simply because he ruined it. But because of many other things that was included.
The cake seem absolutely ruined, it was ugly, pieces missing in random places.
At first I lost hold of my emotion. I letted myself be angry, rebellious, sad, just really emotional.
I thank my mom for her patience with me as I rant. She really helped and encouraged me.
It took me a while to calm down but I did...I went back to the kitchen and started working on the cake.
I don't know how it was possible but I managed to "fix" it up. And well..it doesnt look that bad anymore.
Just like the cake before knowing God...we were all dirty and ugly inside and out and even now we still feel like filth when we didn't glorify Him as we should've of. But by his grace and His love he slowly molds and shape us and cleanses us.
Thats how I felt when I saw the cake. No matter how much I mess up..EACH time God comes and picks me up off the ground. Brushes my knee, brushing ALL the dirt and make me like new again.
The cake may not be perfect but it doesn't look like there was anything wrong with it before.
I thank God for this reminder. No matter how much imperfection I see in myself, no matter how many times I mess up. God CHOOSE to see OVER all of that and continues to love me unconditionally.
What a mighty God. He is worthy of ALL my praise!
Lessons: To be more temperate
Reminders: God is always in control
"Let your conversation be without covetousness and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldy say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." Hebrew 13:5-6
