It is so good to know that God loves us regardless of our behaviors and actions. The song I mentioned yesterday did not go nearly as well as I’d hoped it would, yet I know God was glorified by it. Many said so.

This morning I’m reminded by my devotional time that God tells me not to judge and that includes myself. The day of judgment will come, but that day is not today. I’m so grateful for the timely reminders of Who God is and who we are to Him. I can get overly caught up in the actions to be taken and then determining my value to God on the success or lack thereof for the action/s. This is certainly not what God wants me doing to me or to anyone else.

On the positive side of yesterday, our pastor is doing a series on “breakthrough”. I love the focus and the reminders of how many breakthroughs different ones have had since coming to the counseling program. It was a nice moment to reflect on different ones who can walk in a freedom they hadn’t had until now. God is always wanting us to take another step with Him and this program is helping ones do this–including myself. The step might be painful at the moment, but this pain will lead to healing when God is in it!
