As this new year begins I can’t help but think about all the different places I will be in 2012. I know being away from friends and family for eleven months is going to be very stretching times but the joy that comes with being in my Father’s will surpasses any doubts or fears I may have about being far from home.
I wanted to share a little about what God has been teaching me over the past couple of weeks. I have been learning a lot about sin. The main issue of seeing sin in the mirror, so to speak; God is teaching me about seeing the sin in my own life and facing it with Him and not running from it, or acting as if it isn’t really there. God doesn’t want there to be anything blocking His love, grace, mercy, blessings, favor and so on, and in order for this to happen I have to allow God to show me my sin. As I face the sin in my life there is comfort in knowing that I am in a relationship with my Father who willingly sent His own Son to die for my sin.
The forgiveness, love and salvation that is shown through His death is more than enough for me to throw myself on my knees face down before my Heavenly Father, and acknowledge that I fall short and continue to fall short of His glory every day. His love never ceases to amaze me!
