Oohh, what a blessed day. Morning by morning, new mercies I see. Especially today, during which mercies popped up in a wonderfully subsequent fashion. An old friend who shall remain nameless opened up to me, lamenting about her lack of Christian friends and proposing we hang out because she remembers me as a morally grounded kid in high school. We made wonderful connections and arranged to hang out/go to church together. Then, I listened to one of my marriage counseling CDs, which kept iterating that good things ONLY come when we let God do His thing in our hearts/lives/minds etc. And how we're so inadequate, but Christ's spirit that lives in us embodies perfect adequacy. What an incredibly empowering meditation! Selah.
I had this epiphany today, too, after stewing about a coworker who was unpleasant, bossy, and generally taking advantage of me: instead of winding myself up about it, how much better it would be to take those thoughts to God in prayer in the realization that that person needs Jesus -- REALLY needs Jesus! So I encourage anybody reading this to try it next time you get annoyed, and I pray God's grace upon your attempt. =)
Hearts to you all! Goodnight.
