I’ve been learning a lot. When I was young, I accepted Christ as my Savior. I’ve always believed Jesus is God’s son and He rose Him from the grave. Unfortunately, focusing on myself was a lot easier. I genuinely liked the things the world has to offer.
This past fall before the race, I knew I had a decision to make. I needed to surrender to God. Everything. I knew that this year would’ve been a waste if I didn’t give every day to the Lord. He was gracious. I got a “Yes, and it’s okay” from Him. My heavenly Father isn’t annoyed or bored with me for choosing Him only when it was convenient the past 18 years. He knew the whole time. He was waiting on me. A friend here in Taiwan told me, “God has always believed in you, Molly.” Wow. There is freedom in the presence of perfect love.
That’s who I want in charge of my life. Someone that is slow to anger. I know I don’t deserve the Father’s love. But it’s free. And I’m gonna choose Him.
Psalm 130
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.
