Oh my blog, how I have neglected thee! Well, I'm ready to start writing and sharing my faith again, but maybe this time I won't take a random year-and-a-half hiatus...
To begin, I just want to share some words or phrases that come to my mind quite alot these days and could perhaps be the topics of future posts.
- Grace and Mercy
- Love
- Being a Godly Man
- Accountability
- Hypocrisy
- Judgement
- Wisdom vs. Knowledge
- Worship
- Hope
- Proverbs 31
- Patience
- Seasons
- Covenant
- Flesh
- Prodigal
- Power of Prayer
Finally, I would like to end this post with a written prayer.
Abba, Father, you are so beyond anything I could ever imagine or deserve. Your love for me is undeniable and your forgiveness even more so. I so often am a slave to my sins, shackled by my flesh and desires. But Lord, you and you alone can relinquish me and forgive me for what I have done. Your mercies bring a joy to my heart that I cannot explain. It is so much more than just a fleeting emotion. It is permanent. Even when I have wronged you, you forget my transgressions and see me as clean. Lord, thank you for the blood of Christ who cleanses all of my sins, who takes away all my iniquities. I pray that you would indwell me with the fullness of the Holy Spirit as I try to live my life as living sacrifice, continually putting on the new self every morning. Every breath you give to me I want to give back to you in glory. Every heart beat I want to beat for you. Lord, speak through me and the words I say and write. Bless them and let them be fruitful. Let them fall not on rocks, but on receptive soil so that you might let them grow in the hearts of those who see and hear. Let their hearts not be calloused, but be receptive to the living and ever present good news of Jesus Christ. Lord, humble me so that I might serve you with a willing heart, not out of pride or boasting, but out of a sincere love for you. Abba, I love you with every ounce of my spirit and I pray that my life reflects that. I pray all of these things in Jesus name. Amen.
With love.
