For this weeks blog I wanted to go through and write out a few of the lessons God has been teaching me!
The goal of the call of God is His satisfaction, not simply that we should do something for Him. We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles. Am I more devoted to service than I am to Jesus Christ Himself?
If I obey God, it sometimes means that other's plans are upset. It is impossible to seek both man's approval and God's at the same time. So, who's am I seeking?
Salvation is not just having your eyes open. Salvation means that we are bought to a place where we are able to receive something from God on the authority of Jesus Christ, namely, forgiveness of sin. Many people have just had their "eyes opened" and do not actually receive the forgiveness and act upon it.
It is so easy to quickly abandon the truth especially because there are so many different options out there. But there is only ONE truth.
Its easier to give up my good plans for Christ than my shame, guilt, and regret. I sometimes use my shame to define me. Why? Jesus is more beautiful than my shame.
Hope you enjoyed some of these Jesus nuggets!!!
