Better The Discomfort That Leads To Repentance

Everyone Wanted To Be The Best. Best Student. Best Servant. Best Christian. They Got Caught Up In It, Pressing And Pushing Until They Forgot Whom It Was They Were Trying To Please.

Beloved, Surrender Wholeheartedly To Jesus Christ, Who Loves You. As You Drink From The Deep Well Of Scripture, The Lord Will Refresh You And Cleanse You, Mold You And Re-create You Through His Living Word. For The Bible Is The Very Breath Of God, Giving Life Eternal To Those Who Seek Him.

Lord, You Are God! You Made Us. Who Better To Know How To Fix Us When We've Gone Wrong? Who Better To Set Us To Rights Again? Who Better To Love Us Through The Fire And Refine Us Into Something Beautiful And Useful Despite Our Wrongs?

I've Done Everything For The Wrong Reasons. All The Good Works People Credit To Me Are Nothing Because I Did Them Expecting God To Repay Me. I Thought If I Worked Hard Enough, God Would Have To Give Me What I Wanted. The Truth Is I've Never Served The Lord At All. I Was Always Serving Myself.

I'm Going To Give You God's Truth, Little Girl. All Men Want To Do Is Hurt You. Once You Give Them Your Heart, They Tear It To Shreds." ~francine Rivers; Redeeming Love
