Today, I couldn't help feeling thankful. The longer I'm alive, the more I find that God has given me to be thankful for.
Looking back on BASSYCS this week and past sins, I have been thankful for the forgiveness that God gives. We do not deserve it at all. Jesus --on his way to the cross; being spit upon, mocked, and beaten-- chose to forgive us. We can still live our lives for him and have eternal life, because God forgave us.
Not only that, but God gave us the strength and determination that we need to overcome sin. He gives it continuously and does not ever give up on us. His word is there to support us and encourage us in doing right. I am so thankful for that.
I'm thankful that God places a fire in our hearts and a longing for him. He fulfills us like no one else can, he gives us a joy that is found no where else, and he will never leave us.
I'm thankful for a wonderful college, a phenomenal boyfriend, an awesome wing, an incredible roommate, and a crazy great wing retreat!
God, I have so many other things to thank you for. These are the things that have been the most prevalent in the past week or so. Continue to show me blessing upon blessing, and do not let me ever forget to thank you.
I really like this! Awesome how you helped me realize really how much we need to acknowledge the fact that Jesus still forgave us even after how humans were treating him at the time. So glad to hear that you had a good time on your wing retreat as well!
