A thousand times
A thousand times I’ve said sorry. A thousand times I’ve said I won’t repeat it again. A thousand times I’ve felt unworthy, a thousand times I’ve failed. Yet a thousand times you forgave me, a thousand-one times more. A thousand times you told me you love me, a thousand times you ran to me. A thousand times more I’ll fail again, but a thousand-and-one times more you’ll redeem me. Thank you Lord for loving an unworthy me. Thank you for your unfailing love and mercy. Thank you for reminding me that a thousand times I may fail, but your love for me remains the same.

2018: a year of self-understanding and self-acceptance; a year of learning; a year of suffering, doubts and fears; a year of hope, joys and victories; a year of studies and planning; a year of direction;
having no idea what the next year, month or minute holds but trusting God, his plans and promises. everything is going to be okay.2019: you may come
you will reap the rewards of 2018
and I can not wait to live it.
“…God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want.”— C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain, Divine Goodness (via theloverstraces)
God knows we can only be so strong. He knows we fall short. He knows we need rescuing, which is why He sent Jesus Christ to save us. Trying to deal with our battles on our own without acknowledging that we need His perfect grace will get us nowhere. We are all imperfect and we are all in need of His perfect grace. So say goodbye to those worries that God can never use you for the ministry, or that you’re not qualified to have a fulfilling career, or smart enough to have an enjoyable college experience. Say goodbye to thinking that you can’t grow in your faith because you’ve never been able to get closer to God in the past. God isn’t asking you to give Him perfection. He’s asking you to give Him all of you: flaws, awkwardness, weakness, shame, sin and all. Give it all to Him and let Him set you free in Jesus’ name, wrapping you in His perfect grace.

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. - 2 Corinthians 12:9
