THE JOURNEY CONTINUES: OCT. 21, 2023

I want to start this morning’s entry with a note that my dear friend has made some progress since yesterday’s entry. If you’ve been praying–THANK YOU!

As I was journaling this morning and asked Jesus what He wanted me to know from Him for today, His message was very clear starting with this question: “Do you know how immense my love is for you?” I have to pause in writing as this point. The thought/truth of this question’s answer is simply overwhelming. Truth is, no, I have no idea how immense this love is. My mind can only comprehend this at a human level. At this point my mind wants to go into imagination. It is then that TRUST and FAITH kick in. My sinfulness is forgiven. My thoughts and temptations are obliterated, my selfish actions are removed. When all that is done, God sees Christ in me. Good grief, how is this possible? It is then I can only begin to see a touch of this love’s immensity!

As my relationship has grown in the understanding of God’s love and the immensity of it, I so want to live fully for Him. I say to myself, “I can’t ever accomplish this.” However, I hear Him instantly counter that with, “Yes, you can. Just remember that this only needs to be done one day at a time and one moment at a time.” God didn’t inspire the writing of The Serenity Prayer as a nice thought. It is something we can actually do. WOW! Our God is AMAZING!
