This morning God just kinda hit me with this thought... My life, is completely beautiful. This journey I am on, is a beautiful journey. It is a journey where living with people, living in biblical community, learning to love people in a way I never have before, falling more in love with God each day, learning how to deal with things in the midst of always being around people....is so beautiful. Not everyone has this. And I feel like I have been taking it all for granted so far. I havent been seeing the privelage of living this way. The perks of living this way, the blessings of living this way. and God kinda opened my eyes this morning.
It helps that He has been teaching me about having a grateful heart. And He has been in the process of softening my heart a lot. and with that, comes a grateful heart. the ability to see things the way God does. To see the blessings, and appreciate them. To see the people, and love them. To see all that God has done, is doing, and will continue to do, and feeling like you are living the life He has for you and loving it.
It is a beautiful thing.
"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. give thanks to him and priase his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100:4-5

God's Love
My heart feels very fragile right now. And I know that it is God completely transforming my heart and making it His own. Which is very needed.
One thing that in the last couple days God has kinda spoken to me about, and that my heart is just crying out for...(which there is a lot..but this is just a piece!) is to speak and boast in His Love. It just kind of hit me...that I tend not to focus on God's love a whole lot. I tend to not actually talk about God's love for me, and for His people, to His people. Which as a believer and lover of Jesus Christ, this is not very good. And with God softening my heart and molding it, this is something that He is just pouring into me. I just need courage and boldness from His Spirit to walk in His love, to boast in His love, and to have it as my focus.
I want to encourage. I want to speak Love. I want to live Loved.
"...for our of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks."
Matthew 12: 34
If my heart is overflowing with the Love of God, the words that come out of my mouth will be honoring to God. This is one of the desires of my heart.
P.S.
I really like God's word. Like, a lot!
