Psalm 23:6

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever.

I gave a little message about this passage when I was a shepherd on the DR mission project and it has always stuck with me. I find it amazing that God and all his beautiful qualities will follow me everywhere I go. No matter what I do or who I become, His unfailing love is pursuing me. It doesn't just sit back and watch, it's active in pursuing me constantly drawing me closer to God. He never lets go or gives up hope like I find myself doing on a daily basis with some people. And on top of that, I get to dwell in his house?! He does all the work in pursuing me through all my sin and then gives me the grand prize like I won the race. So what do I do, thank him and keep on talking about people behind their backs or judging others before I meet them. If it were my story, it would be full of destruction. Thankfully my life isn't about me; my life is a part of His story, which is much better. I still have some work to do.

I really want this, and I think would be good at it.

Psalm 116:1-2

I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath.

The rest of this Psalm is super good too. Read it next time ur in the neighborhood :)

Lord you know what's best for me. You have planned all my days, plans of prosperity and hope. Help me wake up each day with this understanding.

I think God is tugging at my heart telling me to talk to them

The Perks of being a Wallflower

I watched this movie last night and it was so good. A little depressing and some scenes were pretty awkward, but it was good because it was about finding yourself and the power of relationships. idk just go see it hah Emma Watson is amazing and I love here

Psalm 139

This is a pretty amazing Psalm. Tonight I was reminded how overcoming God's love for me is.

v.1 O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
He does know everything about me, all the good and all the bad. Sure there is some good butI could write a pretty long list of all the bas things about me. I am far from deserving yet he has given me life. The number of times I have sinned against him is impossible to be counted. I am fallen.

v.17 How precious are your thoughts about me O God. They cannot be numbered.
I fall everyday and fail him countless times yet he still loves me? Yes. That is the God I serve.

v.24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Just because he forgives me doesn't mean I can get away with anything. His love washes over all my shortcomings but with his lead, I can be sanctified. My obedience should be a natural response to God's love, but unfortunately I live in a fallen world.
