truth

It's late and I can't sleep. I have so much on my mind right now about this past week.

I've been fighting with mom alot, over everything and anything. We definately don't have the picture perfect mother-daughter relationship that you see in movies, probably because it's in movies.

Tonight I was reading through Colossians and I was convicted. 3:1-17 is a bunch of commands, putting to death deeds of the flesh because they bring the wrath of God and are the ways of the old unregenerate condition. To clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility. To forgive like Christ forgave and continues to forgive me and be thankful.

This book has also filled me with reminders and encouragement. Chapter 1:12 "giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." I don't deserve this incredible love and I did nothing to merit myself, everything is from my Creator, my Savior.

I'm just amazed by the faithfulness and fervent love God has for me and for all who accept Christ Jesus as the Son of God who died on the cross to pay for the sins of those who believe.
