Honestly? I mess up daily. I’ve failed God more times than I can count. But in spite of everything, all my shortcomings and every misstep, He’s never given up on me. Not once. God sees the darkest parts of our hearts and He loves us still. Even when we stumble and fall, He picks us up, dusts us off, and pursues us to the end. He’s making us into who we were always meant to be and that gives me so much hope.

Dear God,
I wanna take a minute, not to ask for anything from you. But simply to say thank you, for all I have.
Confession
Tbh, when I was watching the Chris Pratt video, a part of me cringed or felt a little awkward and it was not due to what Christ Pratt was saying but because I felt scared for him. To come up to a stage and talk about Jesus to me is terrifying. I remember 4 years of going to college and slowing suppressing my faith because I didn’t want to make others feel uncomfortable but then once I felt that, I felt ashamed. People walk around the streets, proudly declaring their ideologies, and are proud of who they are. I shouldn’t be ashamed of my identity in Christ. I shouldn’t be ashamed to talk about what God has done for me. I shouldn’t be scared to talk about the gospel. So thanks Chris Pratt for allowing God to use you as an alarm clock to wake myself up from my own insecurity.
Please do not be misinformed.
1. You are saved by God’s grace alone.
2. Works are a product of faith but are not what get you saved.
3. God loves you so much and called you for a greater purpose than just attending church once a week.
“God didn’t create the universe out of need. He wasn’t lonely. He lacked nothing. God created everything to share his glory with his people.” You are worthy Lord!
He’s still good..
…when the answer doesn’t come.
…when the answer is no.
…when He doesn’t fix it.
…when you don’t get a call/text back.
…when the relationship doesn’t work out.
Let’s stop thinking that God’s goodness changes because things don’t go our way.
Let’s stop thinking that His faithfulness depends on whether we get what we want or not.
Let’s stop acting like we deserve anything from Him.
Let’s stop treating God like a genie and then acting like spoiled brats when our wishes don’t come true.
Let’s remember that God is good even when our circumstances are not. He is faithful. & He is good. Always.
Let’s remember that.
“Remember: sin, even if legalized by man, is still sin in the eyes of God!”
-Russell M. Nelson
