I talked about grace in my last post and to give you a little update God has completely taken over that whole situation. Through my leaders on my team taking time to talk to me and giving me questions to ask God, to my teammates just calling to say hi and ask what’s going on. God used all of them to help me realize that God truly loves me!! That he didn’t die on the cross just for my sins but he died on the cross because he wanted to be as close to me as possible. that he wanted to give me the holy spirit that I could always be in contact with him. God doesn’t care about all the sins I have done. he cares about my heart and if its seeking after him. see I always believed that god came just for our sins. after telling a white lie or sinning I would always shy even more away from god because the devil would tell me I wasn’t good enough. then I got the attitude that I had to be the best. I had to be the best Christian there was and if I wasn’t then I would get down on myself.
Then when God opened up my eyes to show me that he didn’t die just for my sins but that I could live with him here on earth it was like I had been set free. set free of all the lies that I had told myself, all the worry and guilt of not being good enough went away.
That’s when the grace finally set in! God gives me so much grace when I mess up because he really just wants my heart. the cool part is that now that I have realized that I have really opened up to him and let him into my whole heart. because a God that died just so he could stay connected to me for forever deserves my whole heart!!!!
There is so much more I want to share about what else God is doing in my heart and l will here shortly in another blog. Until then if any of you are stuggling with the same that I did take time to watch this video that help me really understand God.
