Dear God,
What does redemption mean to me? God redeem me. I make mistakes, every day, I sin, I do not
show grace, I lose my temper, I feel overwhelmed, I forget to talk to You.
Thank you for not giving up on me in my moments of epic
failure. You redeem me, restore my mind,
my heart, my soul, my faith. You make me
whole and chase me no matter how fast or how far I run. When I choose not to see the best in Your
sons and daughters, You remind me of the light that is burning bright inside
each individual.
This is what You have been teaching me this month. This difficult, frustrating, wonderful,
joyful, tearful, grace-filled and loving month.
Thank you, Lord, thank you! I need
to see each one of Your sons and daughters as You see them. Despite all their mess, You see love, joy,
strength, hope…You see Your beloved son or daughter. You don’t see their loudness, or their
rudeness, or their disrespect, or their lack of consideration for me or
others. These are my fails, my misses,
my struggles, my downfalls, my judgments.
These are not of You, these are attacks of the enemy and I REFUSE
THEM!!!
Please, I beg You, do not allow my thoughts to even creep in
that direction. I have had a whole month
of battling these thoughts and frustrations and I AM DONE. Jesus said it about His life and now I say it
about all these struggles and attitudes:
it is finished.
Thank you and I love You,
Sara
