A resident of the Fallen World---and I only dare approach His throne because of the grace that is poured over me--daily!
There are many dents in my halo---a short example using some of the recent posts:
A recent post concerning praying for my enemies: here
I KNOW what I should pray--love and mercy---
What my heart wants to pray is for a plague of pestilence to rain on those enemies and God to smite their heads.
A recent post concerning the etching of God's words upon my heart: here
In truth many days, I find myself caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, and do not even take the time to read His word, much less tattoo it upon my heart.
A post about the masks I wear: here
I struggle with taking those masks off and revealing the real me---think you will not love me if you see who I really am.
A post about my need to make an effort to reach the Father: here
I forget to kick--forget to turn--forget to lean--forget to seek. He never moves--He is there--when will I learn?
Finally a post about trust: here
I still find myself with my hands over my head--crouched in fear--waiting for the next shoe to drop and expecting the worst.I have allowed the world to influence my trust tank--and forgotten all He has done. Even with the knowledge of how He has protected and strengthened me over the past two + years----I still have to work on trusting Him with it all.
SO there will be NO statues of Saint Loralu built--I am just like you--we are all not worthy, and YET He loves us---Dents and All---He loves us!
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8
