i know this is butt long but I'm not lj cuttin nothin about my Jesus
everyone. stop taking those freakin stupid quizes about what makes you sexy blahblahblah none of you are sexy and it's not funny when you pretend that you are.
I was thinking about how Jesus forgives today. He forgave me of somthing I did this past weekend, but Satan was still trying to beat me over the head with a bat telling me how stupid i was for doing it and making me feel bad and guilty. even though i already said i was sorry, like 34 times. Well I read this in the Bible this morning.
Psalm 32
A David psalm
1Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be--you get a fresh start,
your slate's wiped clean.
2Count yourself lucky--
GOD holds nothing against you
and you're holding nothing back from him.
3When I kept it all inside,
my bones turned to powder,
my words became daylong groans.
4The pressure never let up;
all the juices of my life dried up.
5Then I let it all out;
I said, "I'll make a clean breast of my failures to GOD."
Suddenly the pressure was gone--
my guilt dissolved,
my sin disappeared.
6These things add up. Every one of us needs to pray;
when all hell breaks loose and the dam bursts
we'll be on high ground, untouched.
7 GOD's my island hideaway,
keeps danger far from the shore,
throws garlands of hosannas around my neck.
8Let me give you some good advice;
I'm looking you in the eye
and giving it to you straight:
9"Don't be ornery like a horse or mule
that needs bit and bridle
to stay on track."
10 God--defiers are always in trouble;
GOD-affirmers find themselves loved
every time they turn around.
11Celebrate GOD.
Sing together--everyone!
All you honest hearts, raise the roof!

so i felt alot better. and it was so awesome.
Anyway, I really was thinking about forgiveness. deep. and I thought, why does He forgive us so quick? how can he? usually it takes me forever to forgive people that hurt me. and i let what they say eat away at me for the longest time. and i have to then force myself to forgive them, even then it's not truely from the heart. But that's not like Jesus at all. HE forgave me BEFORE I did it!!!
this is just awesome.
THE DAY I ACCEPTED HIS GIFT OF SALVATION, A HUGE TIDLE WAVE OF FORGIVENESS WASHED OVER ME. AND I WAS FORGIVEN OF EVERY SINGLE SIN IN THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!!! AND IT WAS ALL FORGOTTEN ABOUT. AND NOW WHEN GOD LOOKS AT ME. HE DOESN'T SEE A FILTHY GIRL--a sinner. HE SEES JESUS, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN ME! . isnt that just, tear-jerking!?! He is such a kind Savior.
and to answer my question earlier, why does He forgive us so quickly? because He wants to be with us SO bad. and He's so ready to get that out of the way and just love on us. He loves us SOOO MUCH. goodness. He's more eager and excited about being with us, than we could imagine. I sure do love Him. I really love Him. like, lovelove. deep love. I LOVE JESUS.

My beautiful Savior, Jesus, I can't begin to describe how much I love You. You have filled so many voids in my life over the past months. You've become my Father, my best friend, boyfriend, my Savior. I love you. and I don't know what I would do without you. At night when I lie in bed i think about you and i look back on the day and dwell on the blessings you showered over me the whole day. and in the morning i wake up ready to live another day! not ME living it, but YOU through ME! and the whole day long You fill my heart with songs of joy and praise! you put a smile on my face! this joy, it's my strength!! and you make my heart beat faster and my chest heavy everytime I think about how marvelous you are. Everytime I think about the day that I'll see you face to face, and you'll embrace me and hold me so tight!! and you'll say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." :) You're so amazing. I lovvvveeeee yoU!!!!
sinner saved by grace,

p.s.
Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness, out of shame.
By the cross you are the truth,
You are the life, you are the way!
I once was fatherless,
a stranger with no hope;
Your kindness wakened me,
Awakened me, from my sleep. :)
Your love it beckons deeply,
a call to come and die.
By grace now I will come
And take this life, take your life.
Sin has lost it's power,
death has lost it's sting!!!!!
From the grave you've risen
VICTORIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!
Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness, out of shame!!!
By the cross you are the truth,
You are the life, you are the way!
My dead heart now is beating,
My deepest stains now clean.
Your breath fills up my lungs.
Now I'm free. NOW I'M FREE!!!!!!!!
show the world the christ in you!
Lift my hands and spin around,
See the light that I have found.
Oh the marvelous light (it's CHRIST IN YOU)
Marvelous light
Lift my hands and spin
See the light within! :):):)
