I am excited to enter deeper into my relationship with Jesus Christ. He shed his own blood for my soul; He has done much good for my parents and their parents. I have seen the goodness of God--I see it daily. God's grace and goodness is new each day; He is loving, patient, kind, merciful, gentle, forgiving yet challenging, fair, and just.
I ran into a relationship snag yesterday; after a long, tiring day I snapped! I yelled, yes I went there. I hurt people (who by the grace of God let me know they forgive me). Looking back, I unleashed the angry beast of self-righteousness and yelled at my mom and got angry at innocent bystanders. I realized the issue was not brought before the Lord; I tried to solve the problem on my own and guess what? I was drained. My understanding is God allowed things to go the way it did and there is peace among the parties but I really could have had a holy touch on the people involved instead of looking back and snapping at loved ones. I think my heart was in the right place but my method trampled the message but as a redeemed Christian I believe God went before me and restored what needed to be done.
God is good; Jesus, thank you for making who I am and going before me. Thank You, God, that you know my name, you know my every thought; thank You that you hear me when I call. You are my maker, master, redeemer--You are all to me. I am striving to live a life that is holy and pleasing...God is before me and with me wherever I go.
Peace,
Sudea
