I Write. . .

Flawed.
My thoughts, my actions, my heart-all equally imperfect. There is nothing good in me. Not a day goes by that I do not struggle or fall into the rotting depths of sin. I tend to sink deeper by allowing ones I love to be exposed to my corrupt soul. . .  shame, dishonor, and guilt haunt the shadows of my mind.
I make plenty of mistakes-a hand full of them break my heart-and I, once again, fall into the Evil One's trap.
This truth is undeniable. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

The good news. . . the power of the Lord redeems my heart! Whether it be His manifested beauty in creation, calling me back into a sweet romance with my Lover. . . or His steadfast righteousness, leading me to a holy life He calls me to live, I am His-we are His people! Our God offers grace to each of us through His Son's brutal, perfect sacrifice-the cross! O, the wonderful cross. . .be our focus! Jesus' life was bought with a price-our souls. So when he rose again on the third day, we would be pure and blameless in his sight. Because he lives, we live freely. The bondage of sin is broken! The truth of grace redeems. . . I am redeemed by the blood of Christ On High!

How to respond to this grace? Worship.
Sing praises to the Father. Thank Him for His everlasting love. Thank Him for His faithfulness. Thank Him for freedom from death! Simply, Thank Him. . . He deserves all glory.
That is my hope for this blog. I pray God speaks to me through the Holy Spirit dwelling in my heart. . . that He may be glorified in every thought (blog post). I desire that not one reader would think, "how great is her devotion" or "what a woman of God. . ."
No. My prayer is that absolutely no one would take notice to this author. . . for I am no wise woman.
Instead, the radiance of the Lord would shine so brightly that only the awareness of His power stands.
"That joy is mine, and it is now complete. He must become greater; I must become less." John 3:30

God's given me a gift-the ability to write. Through writing, I connect with God personally. This is my outlet-the route to oneness with my Savior. I desire not to teach or instruct, for I have no right, but simply to journal-explaining what I'm learning and how our God is always speaking!  For if I did not share in the weight of His gospel, what would my life be worth?

This is my journey home. With awareness, I write. . .
