The lessons God continues to teach me...

Some times I wish God would just hit me upside the head.....sometimes, God hits me upside the head!...but I have to say, every time I am reminded of my stupidity and His greatness and then reminded of the fact that He still loves me and gave up EVERYTHING for me, I am simply blown away by His grace.

I had one of those moments this morning while emailing Jesus, (that's right, email is the new journal, get with it people!)....basically I was rambling away my frustration of feeling far from Him lately. And the crux of the matter was this: I felt that all of my habitual and repetitive sin was keeping me from seeing God's will worked out in my life. I felt like I was missing the boat or something. As soon as I wrote it, I felt the Holy Spirit hit me upside the head....Like ANYTHING I could do could keep God's will from happening. The sovereign God, perfect in all timing, the creator of the universe was not likely to be detoured my pee brain antics! I felt like an idiot...but at the same time I was overwhelmed by His grace...that no matter what I do, nothing can separate me from the love of God. that yes i might miss out on blessings along the way, that in my rebellion I could miss out on fruits of the Spirit that would bring me greater intimacy with Jesus...but in His sovereignty, in His grace, and His sacrifice, there is nothing that can take me away from Him. And although His is the creator of the universe and I am nothing...I am something because He first loved me!

That is the truth: Nothing I can do will separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus! His Will will be done! Although I am weak, i an found in Christ and I have traded my brokenness for His righteousness!

So lesson learned...again...and do you know what...i will probably need to be reminded of this fact again and again...and again...but I am thankfully that we have a merciful and gracious God...because He will continue to hit me upside the head every time I need it! thanks Jesus:-)
