God has been so incredibly faithful

and that is just the start.

This last year has been nothing short of amazing, amazing times of healing, and amazing time of loneliness, and amazing times of suffering, with God.

God has been incredibly faithful and I do not deserve this and that’s the point.

I didn’t deserve to be at the Trump Rally and I didn’t deserve to watch the future Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers, I didn’t deserve to go to Disney, I didn’t deserve to have good experiences with my family and great experiences with my friends.

I didn’t deserve what happened to me, and that’s the point.

God has been incredibly faithful He didn’t need to show me a million crosses and He didn’t need to slow me down, but He did. He didn’t need me to accompany Him yet He lets me accompany Him. He didn’t need to plan an intricate plan of Healing for me in this Season, Yet He did.

And that’s the point, I didn’t deserve this and He still did it, I didn’t deserve all the nice things people have said about me and I don’t deserve the comforts given. But That’s The Point. That is the point.

That I didn’t deserve it and yet God allowed it to happen, and I didn’t deserve Healing yet God healed me, and I didn’t deserve to be set free from sin, yet God set me free.

But that’s the point

I have tried to earn God’s love and that’s the point. I didn’t have too.

For those of you who are like me and are haunted by their past I want to encourage you that this is not God’s heart for you that you would perfect yourself before Him. He will restore you, He will Heal you.

God forgives, He literally shows us the love He has for us by showing us the Cross. The one that’s up on your wall or buried deep in that drawer under all those meaningless papers. That Cross is literally God showing His love that He currently has for you. Think about that it isn’t only a reminder that you are a sinner, it never was supposed to be that. It is a reminder that we can do nothing about our sin apart from His love. The cross is God showing His love for us right now, for you right now. You are still a sinner so you are still worth the cross. I truly believe this is what Romans 5:8 means. Our sin condition doesn’t change it’s constant this side of Heaven, sure God transforms us and makes us more like Him, and His son Jesus, but I don’t want you to miss this that every time you see the cross and think of God and of Jesus you don’t have to think, “man I have to earn this today again”. No you don’t you can look at the cross and say with humility God I need this love today, this love that you poured out, because friends, that’s the beauty God never once said He doesn’t love or accept us. Our circumstances have lied to us and aren’t a direct true portrayal of who God is, the God who loves us whether we sin or not. Pretty amazing if you ask me.

For a long time I’ve felt I had to earn God’s love and His approval, trust me I don’t nor can I. There is literally nothing I can do to earn His love. I must just receive it. I think this has been a year for the books and to think that it kicked off with me going on a yearly journey to learn what I learned today after all this time that God loves me and that He takes my sin from me even though he knows I’m a sinner. There is literally no greater transfer. God here’s my mess, thanks Kory, Here is my Son. Thanks God!
