Thought Vomit

The semester has come to an end! Yay, thank God! I am almost finished with my journal that I started back in April, and as I read through it, I’m reminded of God’s faithfulness. I read some of the prayers/ concerns I wrote about earlier in the year and I’ve seen how He’s answered!  So faithful.

That being said, these past couple days have been  rough for me. I have been reminded (once again) that my worship, praise, and relationship with God has nothing at all to do with how comfortable I am. This has been such a difficult lesson to learn!!!
Here are some other things I’ve been thinking about/ having to remind myself of- even when everything in me seems to be saying otherwise.

I have to remind myself that my contentment and worth is found in Jesus Christ and no one else. Not friends, not social media, not grades, not family, not my talents…nada.

I have to remind myself that I am just as sinful as that man who did the shooting in CT. I need the grace, and blood of Jesus Christ to cover my sins just as much as he does. It’s a heart issue.

I have to remind myself that even though denying myself isn’t fun, it’s what I’m called to do.

I have to remind myself that God is sovereign and that His Will shall be done in my life.

I have to remind myself that God knows who he is ( he being my future husband… if there is one)

I have to remind myself to love others and view them through the lens of Christ. I need the Holy Spirit to help me love the way I ought to.

I have to remind myself to read and pray even when I don’t feel like it.

I have to remind myself, that even though I’ve seen so many of my sinful ways lately..Php 1:6 reigns true "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

I have to remind myself that of all the things in this life that I could wait for, I have chosen to wait for Jesus Christ, because He is the lover of my soul, the only one that can truly satisfy.
