I felt inspired today. By so many things!
I had to get up extra early for work today, and I kind of had a bad attitude about it, but then it kind of turned around when I got in the car, I turned on "All Sons and Daughters" their song called "alive" and I've heard it so many times, but this morning it was especially beautiful, just because I realized, I am ALIVE. I thought back to so many times in my life where I almost lost it, I wasn't ALIVE. Truly I was lost and dead. I have so much to live for and God just reminded me of that this morning. It's good to know that someone cares about you that much no matter what you do. It blows my mind on a regular basis. Another thing about God that blows my mind is His grace. We are soaked in all the grace. He unchains us from ALL that we have done, His mercies rise like the sun on the horizon. We are alive because of His grace. We're alive in Him, without Him we are simply useless and dead.
Okay another thing was the beauty out my window! Holy smokes God was showing off. It's cool how he can make something so beautiful He is like the ultimate artist. Seriously, how ahh I have no words to describe Him, I become speechless.
Another thing would be my mom, I just like really realized how cool and pretty she is today. I love her to death! Really she is like my best friend. Ah man!
Another thing would be my faith was tested today. I was reminded how easy it is for the world to change you and how hard it is to change the world. Sometimes it really isn't the cool thing to stand up for God, or do what God wants you to do. It's really hard, but I was so reminded of the greatness and the rewards and the benefits that come with following the Lord and it's so worth it! Embracing God is the best thing we can do for Him, said in Romans 12. So embrace God in your life. I've been thinking about what that meant, what does embracing God really mean?
Embracing Him means not going with the world.
It means standing out and being different.
People notice different and when they notice you, they will notice God.
In the dictionary embrace is defined: to take or receive gladly or eagerly; accept willingly: to embrace an idea.
To receive gladly the blessings from God, but thanking Him for them and eagerly embrace Him with what you get.
Overly talk about God and love Him too much. Well you could never love Him too much.
Embracing Him means including Him in your daily life.
Make it know to other people that you follow and love the Lord.
It means not being ashamed of Christ.
That's what embracing God means to me.
I hope you all had a good day. (:
Oh and P.S. one more thing, it just amazes me how much money is coming in for my missions trip. I know with everything in me that I am supposed to go on this trip because He is definetly providing everything. It's SO stinkin cool to watch God in action.
HE. IS. SO. GOOD.
