Guess what, guys! I'm back in Texas!! :D It's so good to be home!
Yesterday was my first day back at Paradigm Student Ministries, my fantastic youth group.
During Pre-Service prayer, I was nearly in tears. I was on my knees, telling God how sorry I was that I didn't pursue him the way I should have. I was pouring out my heart in repentance for not being the bride I should be, for not being completely motivated in my relationship and in the end, not being worthy of Him.
His response?
Were you expecting to be?
It was then I felt him speaking comfort to me. He reminded me that I'm not perfect and I'm never going to be. My pursuit of Him will never be what He truly deserves. I will never have a perfect prayer life or perfect worship time. Until He takes me up to Heaven, I will continue to be unworthy of everything that He is.
Here comes the shocker.
Even in all my sinful glory, He still loves me. Honestly, I think we need to get a good reminder of that fact every so oftenn. He finds me captivating and He pursues me. Me, Little Miss Sinful, because I will never be Little Miss Perfect.
That was exactly what I needed to hear. I needed to be reminded that I will never be perfect, but I should still try my best anyway. I will never get it all, but I should still pursue him with my all.
Have a blessed day!
