Week 2: Jesus Delivers Us From Death (Tuesday)
I know that God is a compassionate and loving God. Unfortunately, I don't always remember that for various reasons, but in my heart I know it. I know that He accepts me for the hot mess I am but that he calls me to continue to work on our relationship. He wants me to love Him freely without obligation or fear of judgment or punishment. When I mess up sometimes, it is hard for me to imagine that He could forgive me without any consequence (besides natural...i.e. he isn't going to send lightening down to strike me after I gossip as a punishment). I just have to ask for forgiveness and grace. It blows my mind sometimes, but I know that He makes all things new and I praise Him for all He has done in my life.

God is so AMAZING! It is so amazing to know that there is a God watching over you and standing with his arms open wide waiting for us to return to Him. Sometimes when I feel broken or like I messed up I just have to remember that our God is a loving God who can forgive anything as long as we are truly sorry. I think it is amazing to know that there is a God who can catch us when we fall and will never give us anything we can't handle. I pray that through this Lenten Season I may keep God first in my life so I can remember thatr I am always protected from evil.
