These past couple days have been a teeny bit draining. I've been reading the Psalms and I will write about them, just not today.
Someone close questioned who I was becoming, based on decisions I have made and are continuing to make. It bothered me, I wanted them to be ok with what I was doing. But the more I think about it, the less important that becomes to me. The only person I need to be seeking acceptance from, has already granted it. I want to live my life for me and even more so for Him. I want to make Him proud, but He already is because He calls me His. My name is graven on His hands, my name is written on His heart. I know that while in Heaven He stands, no tongue can bid me thence depart.
I am not justified or saved by anything that I do. I need to be a receiver of grace and not just a recipient of it. I am not skilled to understand, what God has willed, what God has planned. I only know, at His right hand, stands one who is my Savior.
I love my God, and He loves me, not for any reason that I have made, done, or will do. I am loved, because I'm His. "The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent."
SHUT ME UP, Lord! Let me bask and frolic in the fruits of Your labor and grace.
A potential tattoo in the making:
Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds. Matthew 6:26
enjoy!
I love you.
