STOP AND READ!

So I was sitting in my living room
playing on my computer
stoked that we finally have wireless
when it occurred to me that i had not visited the blog since i was at Biola

So I checked it
and found I was not that only one

Time is scary
the most scary part is how precious it is
What is it we are doing with our time?

Me
I have sat around doing nothing!
watching movies and TV shows online
I might take some time and give it God
Ha what a joke
God gives us the time
it is because of him that we are able to wake up each day
to sunshine
or annoying alarm clocks
It is by his Grace!

And yet we treat it like it is ours
dont let life pass you by
how cliche
but how true

My Willits girls dont get wrapped up in the crazyness of the world
stop and be still before God
slow down
slow your breathing
your heart rate
turn off your phone
close your door
and be alone with God

This world full of noise
drowns out the gentle voice of God
Dont pass HIM by

I am guilty of this
I pass him by with my eyes on myself
I find reasons not to read my Bible
not to pray
and when i am flooded with conviction...
I justify
Why do we feel the need to do that?

I AM A SINNER
I AM VAIN
I AM SELFISH
I AM JUDGMENTAL
I DISGRACE GOD BY HATING HIS CREATION
BY HOLDING ANGER...EVEN AGAINST MYSELF
I AM WEAK
I AM NEEDY
I AM A CHILD OF GOD...

My lovelies do not forget what you are worth
Stop and remember what was done on the cross
Try once again to understand what was done that day

Think back to where you were a year ago
think of your life before you gave it up
See and remember all the GOOD God has done in your life
see the blessings
see the love
see that he is in fact doing a work in your life
even when it feels like he is a lifetime away

You are saved
your salvation can not be taken from you
Jesus loves you
why else would he have gone through the pain and humiliation?
