My verse for today:
2 Chronicles 7:14-15...
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
How good is God!
Humility is definitely something that I struggle with. To be humble enough to ask for help. To be humble enough to admit my wrongs. To be humble enough to admit my sin and ask forgiveness. To be humble enough to allow myself imperfections and become comfortable with those. God has shown me my lack of humility especially this semester and although it is difficult to realize this I am so thankful. I desire to be a godly woman and I have been slapped in the face with how I need to be more obedient. Through God's grace I have been forgiven of my sins that I repent, but God and I desire to have a personal relationship with each other, so that Jesus recognizes my face when I'm in heaven and does not turn me away. (Matthew 7:21-23) Obedience leads to a deeper relationship because love and obedience go hand in hand.
I pray that tomorrow I be able to humble myself, pray and seek the face of the Lord. That I not find other things to busy up my schedule to avoid doing my bible readings or read my Beth Moore study. I don't understand why I do it- after I feel so fulfilled and rewarded....why do I avoid it?!
I can't wait to see Augie's smiling face in the morning, I love how excited he is to see me and play all day. I love that we can sit across the room from each other and giggle non-stop for 5 mins. I love this two year old with so much of my heart.
