My heart is so full right now. The Lord has so richly blessed me. I have so much more than I ever could have asked for, so much more than I deserve. I have a wonderful husband who loves me, who loves our son and is an amazing father, who cares enough to put God first, who has a deep passion for God's word and a great love for people. I have a beautiful healthy son despite all that could have gone wrong during my pregnancy or just after his birth. Every time I look into that precious face or hold him in my arms, I know I am holding a miracle. Most of all, though, I have a savior! A savior named Jesus, who left heaven and came to earth as a man, who chose to suffer and die for all sin, who rose again on the third day, and who has forgiven my sins and allowed me to have a personal relationship with Him!
There are so many more things I could list. I could give so many specific instances of God's goodness, mercy, grace, and love in my life. Right now, my heart is so full I feel it could burst! I just had to share with you how a small piece of how great my God is and how good He's been to me. Yes, there are parts of my life that are hard, but I have so much more than I deserve. I am a sinner and deserve no more than punishment and death, yet here I am. I am alive, I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful son, a wonderful family, dear friends, a chance to minister to others, and most of all, I have a Savior!
I have to marvel at how great my God is, how much He's given me, how much He is teaching me through His word and in prayer! I would encourage you, take a few minutes just to think about all He's done for you. Remind yourself of His faithfulness.
And if you don't know Him, seek Him out. Get a Bible and start reading the New Testament, find a Bible-believing church and get in touch with the pastor with your questions, or even leave me a comment.
For His Glory,
Courtney
