A Prayer of Reflection

Oh Lord, you have brought me through another year of this journey.  You have protected my soul and have made me whole in moments when I was so very broken.  Father, You have carried me through dark hours and run with me through happy moments.  Your love have washed over me again and again and Your grace has unfailingly sustained me.  I am grateful for you, Jesus, and the way you have made my life complete.  You meet me every time I need you, without failing.  You are my constant.  Spirit, you have washed over me so thickly this year that I have not even been able to stand at times.  You have filled my soul to the fullest and have given me strength when I had nothing left. You are my lifeblood.  Oh, beautiful Godhead, I am in awe of the power, glory and grace you bestow on me.  I am your humble servant.  With love, Amen.

Blessed Assurance

Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth , nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. This verse just makes me want to shout, "AMEN!"  But isn't it frustrating how Satan knows exactly where to hit us to make us doubt?  And then he is so good at kicking us while we are down.  I, unfortunately, had this experience very recently.  I was feeling a little worried about a particular situation and then Satan pounced and made me feel like an enormous loser.  He was feeding me lies that he knew I would believe, because they are the same lies I always fall for.  Thankfully, I was able to spend some time with God in quiet solitude.  I was reminded that no matter what Satan throws at me, I will never be separated from the love of God because I have Christ Jesus...

Mercy and Compassion

Jude 22-23 Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. This is something I have struggles with, loving those who frustrate me.  How can we be merciful to those who are "corrupt" without being judgmental?  It is definitely not our place to judge one another, it is our place to love one another.  Sometimes loving the people who are rude or cruel is the hardest part of being a Christian.  My humanity would like to judge people for their behaviors and choices and lash out at them.  I believe we are only able to show true mercy and compassion for others when we accept these for ourselves from Jesus and then He lives them through us.  Allowing God to change our hearts in order that Jesus' mercy and compassion shine through is a journey.  It's not always easy.  On those difficult days, I remain quiet and ask God to love on me, so I...
