hey!! wasn't able to post late week due to finals BUT i got a few requests for this song so here it is:)
i've been thinking about the Lord's faithfulness in His pursuit of our hearts and just in general!
2 Timothy
2:13 "If we are faithless, he remains faithful for he cannot deny himself."
E V E R Y D A Y we mess up, fall short, and sin whether it's a white lie or a sin cycle, but the point is we all fall short. but the good news is that we have a Savior who is full of mercy and grace!
Jesus the Son of God, God Himself, gave His life for us when we didn't even know Him yet, but He knew us. (There's a verse that talks about the Lord searching and knowing our hearts! (psalm 139:1)) SOOOOO here's the good news! God knows your heart, He sees everything and knows everything (cuz He's God and He's Omnipotent)and He hasn't given up on you! He knows what you're struggling with, He knows what you've done and He is STILL FAITHFUL to YOU!!! God created you and the dream of His heart is to have a relationship with you! He knows you're not perfect, he knows you're gonna mess up but He still loves you and He's created a solution to that problem.
wanna know what it is? It's Jesus dying on the cross for YOU! When Jesus died on the cross and rose on the third day He defeated sin(what separates us from God) and death (the result of sin, eternal seperation) and allowed you to receive HIS salvation!!!! You don't have to do an elaborate ritual or prayer or anything like that. It's as simple as declaring "Jesus I make YOU, Lord and Savior of my life. I receive your salvation and I repent of my sins." BAM! it's just about believing that THIS is the truth and IT IS!!! But it's not just about saying it with your words but also living in this reality!
God's grace DOESN'T mean you can just sin all you want la di da la di da BUTTTT it means that as you live your life with God, when you mess up you don't have to beat yourself and give up on yourself INSTEAD you receive the Lord's forgiveness and strength and keep walking with Him!!
Proverbs 24:16 "For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity."
If you've decided to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, i encourage you to read the Gospel of John (its the 4th book in the new testament of the Bible) it's all about the life of Jesus and what He did for you and for me!!
Love you guys and receive the Lord's grace today!!! His mercies are new EVERY morning!!! If God hasn't given up on you, then why would you give up on yourself?!
see you next week Lord willing!!!!!
