I went to church today after having not gone for around a year. It was good. For the past several weeks, I've been feeling a change in me. An awakening. And for the first time probably since bible college, I 'm desiring a more intimate relationship with God. One would never believe the struggle I went through these past few years to get back on track with the Lord, but He has His own ways to bring us back to Him. In all my trying, the Lord was just waiting for me to stop and look to Him. He is the one who does the work, and all too often I forget to trust Him. To just rest in Him and what He has done for me, for all of us. So, now I'm feeling hopeful that I'm entering into a new stage of my life and walk with God. Man, our timing is so different than God's. He brought it all about in His time.
Some verses from the sermon today:
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
-Titus 3:4-7
