so yesterday was good. i think it’s how days are meant to be. it started with a john piper sermon, and studying colossians. then lauren and i went to starbucks. we spent over an hour reading 2 timothy, talking out what the scriputre was saying. the whole rest of the day, while i was looking for jobs (that was unsuccessful), was spent reading scripture, talking about kingdom things. i went to spend time with my lifegroup. we ate together, and beck talked about the wrath of God. of our total depravity, and how we deserve His wrath. we are filthy, yet when we, the redeemed, stand before the Father, Jesus is there, taking the filth away. my mind was set on His kingdom all day long. i love it. HE IS LIFE. why would i think or talk about anything that isn’t furthering the kingdom.

we talked in lifegroup of God’s active and passive wrath. his passive wrath being when he gives someone over to their sin (romans 1:24).  how much more thankful should i be when He disciplines me, because He has not given me over to my sin. He has not given up on me. the opposite has happened… He is continuing to forgive me and transform me to be more like Himself. Ahhh beauty.

Anyways, all this to say – God is good. i’m so thankful there are days when He reminds me of how much i need Him. i need His word. and when i am in His word, my mind is set on things of above. and it’s beautiful.

[how i long to be broken. how i long to be near you. how my heart skips beats when your love accepts me as i am.][the glorious unseen]
