dear God,

i want more of You and less & less of me.

"why do both good and bad thing happen? Because, God is passionate about OUR love for Him. He knows that in our sinful bodies we would live our life out of self love if everything always went our way."
That quote has revealed so much to me. God is not a god of pain and suffering because he wants bad to fall upon us. God is a god of mercy and love and wants our love more than anything! God reveals Himself in such unique and amazing ways.

"But He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." - 2 Corinthians 12:9
Though at the time of suffering pain of the earth falls upon us. The love of God is something so much more powerful. And I guess if I had to sum up how I feel about this particular verse. It would be that though the trials come (and if they haven't already, they will, it's impossible to avoid) God promises to reveal Himself, and change us for the better through the trials. Even better, He promises to never leave us. I would rather go through trials, any day, than go through a trial-less life with-out God as my savior.

About Me

My photo
I love Jesus, He's the best thing about me. I could go on and on about His greatness but my words will just fall short. So I'll leave it at that.. He has blessed me beyond belief and I try to live everyday being thankful, which is harder than I would like to admit. I love being outside, being with family & friend, quite time with my Bible, and I love some good worship! The color is yellow always makes me happy.
