Nothing But Grace

        For the past couple of months I have been overwhelmed by God's grace in my life.  Even more so in the past couple of days.  He has given me so much more than I deserve.  I do not deserve God's steadfast love.  I do not deserve my current life situations.  I do not deserve my godly friends and yet God has proven Himself faithful time and time again.  Some things that have been on my heart that He has allowed to happen in my life include supportive and loving parents, a job, working with deaf students, working with Special Olympics PA, discipling, backpacking, peace and strength.  It is so exciting to look back and see God use past events in my life to bring glory to His name through my life now.  


        One item that has particularly been on my mind is a verse that my Dad had given me back in November.  I am reminded each day of it: "The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever." Psalm 138:8a  I am constantly reminded of this verse and am making sure I think on this truth continually.  God has created me for a purpose that I have yet to fully comprehend.  He reveals Himself to me each day in a new way and each time it amazes me.  I could not ask for a better way to be living my life out for my Creator, the Creator of the universe! The same God that has created the galaxies wishes to invest in His children, of whom I am a sinner.  I do not deserve such a relationship and yet He offers it so graciously.  He sees me without blemish and of that I am truly grateful.  Thank you for this life and for allowing me to live it out for You.  Walk the narrow path and I promise you will not regret it. Matthew 7:13-14.
