Good distractions.

much needed time with good friends these last few weeks. it was a good and needed distraction.

2 Corinthians 4:16

So we do not lose heart.

Though our outer self is wasting away,

our inner self is being renewed

day

by

day.

God has really been placing 'change' on my heart. I talked to a good friend about God being timeless and trials. He encouraged me with knowing that because God is not bound to time, He sees our perfected selves right next to our current state. And God (being rich in mercy) knows exactly what needs to happen in our lives to get us to that perfected state. So each trial, each mercy, each gift of grace is purposeful to change us.

I am praying that He changes me. That He would change me into a person who hungers and thirsts for righteousness (Matthew 5:6)

Someone who seeks Him above all and rests in His care.

Someone who confidently surrenders all things to Him because He is good.

I want to be changed, but man the process of changing is really tough.

Independence.
