Lenten Journey

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9 (ESV)
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15 (KJV)

Thus I spent yesterday reminding God that I will never get this Christian walk right, of how I am not worth it, how I will always fail, how I should jut give up and get out. He did not listen to me and as I watched the Vocal Band reunion DVD and heard Jon Mohr and Steve Green's testimonies grace overcame and the blood of Jesus again washed me clean and reminded me as a pot I really cannot tell the potter how much I am worth. He also gave me a dream last night that I was in this class and we were discussing something and the instructor turned to a page in a book that was written in Hebrew. I could see the Hebrew letters and the instructor said, "Remember this means ..." and he said something in Hebrew which i don't remember what it was but when I got up today the burden was lifted and I felt good. God's faithfulness prevailed and He continues His work in my life.

Bill Gaither said on the DVD, "Isn't good to live long enough that finally, the lyrics of songs and the message of the gospel catches up to where you are and where you're living? And if you live long enough and if you're honest enough, sooner or later, those things that we have sungg and heard and heard preached all our lives become a reality." It is real in my life.
