The Power of His Love

I have recently been reminded that sometimes people can only see what they want to see in you. If someone wants to find fault with me, they will not have to look too far. And when someone looks deep into my soul, they will find a sinner. Because that is what I am. I am a sinner. A Sinner who is trying to love others and be as sinless as I can...which is impossible. It is a losing battle, but one that I need to fight daily. I am a sinner who cares deeply for my family. My Friends. My acquaintances. I am a sinner who longs to make everyone happy. I am sinner who loves Jesus. I love people. I want to do the best I can (though sometimes take on too much).  

I will never claim to be perfect. In fact, most days, I feel like a failure. I am a sinner who would never intentionally hurt anyone. I am a work in progess. I am God's work in progess. 

I am not a mind reader. I am a mother. A wife. A daughter. A Sister. A friend. 

A sinner.

I might not know God's plan for my tomorrow, but I know He has one. 

And I am not alone. You are a sinner too. (gasp!). But, friend. He has a plan for you too! People will come and go. Even people that you never thought would but He does not. Our Heavenly Father, was, is and is to come.

We sang this song at church this morning. It is older but the words have always been some of my favorite lyrics. After an exhausting weekend, I needed this today and God knew it. May you know the renewal of Jesus today. May you be led by the Spirit and find joy in each new morning.

The Power of Your Love, by Geoff Bullock

Lord I come to You, Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace that I've found in You

And Lord I've come to know the weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away by the power of Your love

Hold me close, Let Your love surround me
Bring me near, Draw me to Your side

And as I wait, I'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You, Your spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love

Lord unveil my eyes, Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love as You live in me

And Lord renew my mind as Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day by the power of Your love
