WOW

"It wasn't so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn't know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It's a wonder God didn't lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us! Then he picked us up and set us down in the highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah." Ephesians 2: 1-6

Wow. This is the God we serve, or don't serve. People, God is generous in his love for us. Today's sermon combined with the days events and this scripture, there is a well inside me that is quickly changing from empty to full and the result of this will be life changing for me. Thank you so much Lord for loving me enough to give me multiple chances to attempt to show you my love. I need your strength more than ever and I pray you will instill within me the power to forgive and the need to love and live for you. How great is our God?!?!
