The Only Thing

I have not stuck to my blog every day routine, and there is a reason. A couple.

While in Chicago, I fell into old habits and fell to a reoccurring sin. I think that then, I was choosing not to blog because that was all that was on my mind, but I was struggling letting anybody know. Then after processing it, I didn't want to blog until I spoke with Jesus more.

On the way to Chicago, I was talking to a friend about what I am struggling with right now and told her humility was really difficult for me. I've been praying that God humble me and force me to remember that I am a filthy sinner and need Jesus. To show me that I have no reason to be self-righteous. And it wasn't until this morning that I realized that God is using my sin to answer my prayers. Last night I was just wrecked with frustration over my sin and that I set a trap for a non-believer to sin and I was being a hypocrite in claiming Christ's name and being beligerent in my sin. Then I woke up and read in Beth and Proverbs 23 that God can use those to show us that the only thing that's good in me is Jesus. the ONLY thing. I don't have a picture, but I have a link. 

This is a song that I've known for years, but especially this morning it's striking a chord in my heart. I love music and I love thinking about how God composes it all so beautifully.
