By how much I keep learning about myself and how I fall short of meeting God’s standards on my own strength. Yet I’m also just as much astonished that God would still pardon me for my sins, my selfishness, my lust, my pride, my forgetfulness, my ingratitude, and my stagnation. I’m astonished by His character! I’m astonished by His patience. I’m astonished by His big heart for me. I’m astonished that God loves me the same even though I tend to forget His faithfulness and forget to lean on Him for strength and wisdom. I’m astonished that “in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Rom 8:28).” Even though I’ve been faithless, God has been faithful and has been amazing me in SO many ways. He’s been showing up in CRAZY ways! He’s been providing for me in RIDICULOUS ways. He’s been hearing the murmurs and groans in my heart. He’s been taking care of me so well! I’m so ungrateful! Lord, help me to cherish you; help me to spend more time with You and lavish myself in Your word. Awaken my soul! In Jesus’ name I pray confidently. Amen!
