Thoughts Only

I have been reading in Acts. It's been a while that I have read from that book. As I read it I am reminded how God called the Gentiles to love him and used Paul to spread the news. Paul was chosen because of his background. He was a highly educated, prominent Roman citizen who originally persecuted Christians. Now he is spreading he word of God to Jews and Gentiles alike. God chose Paul because only Paul could be able to speak to both Gentiles and Jews with the authority he had. He could debate the intellectuals of the time because he knew the law and knew how to approach the word of God.

Today's posting is just to praise God for who he is. I just seem to keep failing. Over and over I try to do what is right, but I keep failing. However, God keeps blessing me and using me. I don't understand it sometimes. I feel so ashamed sometimes because I should know better to make the right choices. Yet, I continue to blow it. As I went for my morning walk, I was talking to the Lord. It's a good thing most people were not up yet, because they would have thought I was crazy. But I talked it out with him and asked for his forgiveness in my life. I just praised him for loving me and accepting me. I thank God my parents love the Lord and have brought me up in the ways of the Lord. I couldn't imagine living my life without him. Talk about failure. At least I can get back up and try again. If I did not have Christ in my life, I would feel hopeless. God is good. I praise him everyday for what he does in my life. As I read his word, he reveals his truth to me. It seems like the words I read from his word deal exactly with the issues I am dealing with. I know that God is there and cares for me. Yeah, God.

I am going on vacation for a week.
