Can we just take a moment to say YIKES to this new blogger update! Hope everyone had a good weekend. I didn't end up doing any sewing. I got wrapped up in a book and ended up reading the whole thing. Sooooooo good! Karlyn, I hope t-ball was fun and Jenifer I want to hear about Dallas!!!
S - "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
O - So, I cheated and didn't use the verse of the day, instead I went with one of the verses she talks about on page 27. Lysa uses this verse to prove that God's love is not used on our performance. Did y'all ever think of this verse in that way? In relation to performance? I guess I kind of did, but just never put that word to it. I like it. He died for me knowing I was sinner, so it's not like He is waiting around for me to do enough or be good enough to convince Him to love me. He does inspite of me missing the mark.
A - O.K. girls I can't hear that enough. I don't have to earn God's love. I can mess up. I can make the wrong decision. I can do something I know is not right and He still loves me. I love the last part on page 27..."Yes, we are only one good choice away from being back on the path of perseverance. But no matter how far off the path or how long we are on it, God is patient withus and loves us as a dearly beloved child - part of His family." Thank you for an unconditional love that stays no matter how many redos I have.
P - Lord thank You for Your love. Where would I be without it? I'm gonna mess up. I'm gonna get off track, but You love me. Thank You for that never ending love. I love You back.
