...The list goes on and on. Lately, its been so fresh in my heart that everything I do/have/live/feel/know is from of the Lord. Not only from him but caused solely by him. It is because of the cross. It is because of him, God in three: Father, Son, Spirit.
I have the opportunity to respond to God. TO GOD. what?
Every moment. I want to respond well every moment, and not only well but right. How do we righteously respond?
Another thing that baffles me is that God doesn't leave us forgiven, cared for, and loved. He gives us the opportunity to respond to him and to even be a part of what he is doing. We keep on going, we live it out, we respond to him. The chapter after forgiveness is responding to God with our lives. He keeps beckoning us to that. He loves our response and our desire to have relationship with him. I love God. I love that he is the Source of everything and that everything I possibly have/do/live/feel/know is from him. It's all from God. FROM GOD. what?
I have the privilege of responding. I want to have a right response. I want to respond well. I want to respond to him as Lord of my life.
