So often, I beat myself up because I feel like a failure as a Christian or I remind myself of all the things I do wrong or of all t he times I get wrapped up in myself. The truth is many days I get caught up in living my life my way and don't stop to consult God on how He would want me to live that day or in that moment. I forget that I'm only here to live my life for him and my only purpose is to worship Him and bring Him glory. Now that doesn't mean God doesn't continue to bless me with things I enjoy or with meaningful relationships. Quite the contrary. You can't out give God. It does mean that I need to remember all of this belongs to the One who created it. On many occasions, I fail to do this and I feel like I'm a big disappointment to God. I tend to want to lump all my shortcomings and faults into one huge pile and think about how terrible I am and how much I don't deserve to know God. The reality though is that none of us do, but He wants to know me....and you. How amazing it is to know that the King of kings, and Lord of lords, the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of the whole universe, knit me together in my mother's womb. He knows my weaknesses and my strengths and loves me all the same.
I have learned so much as a mom about God's immeasurable love for us. And even what I've learned doesn't even come close to understanding it fully. But when I think of Mason even at this young age and the times he disobeys me, I don't love him any less. I have to remember that even though I mess up everyday, God too doesn't love me any less. I am His child. His forgiveness, mercy, and grace cannot be measured. Thank you Lord Jesus for taking my place at the cross so that I could become a new creation and a child of God. For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
