I know it's not true for everyone, but I love Mondays!! Monday mornings are a great reflection time for me on the past week and especially on Sunday. God always shows up and usually it takes the quietness and stillness of Monday morning to grasp it all.
We closed out 1John 3yesterday and also got a little glimpse of what may come in the fall if we dive into Genesis. I love how the whole Word goes together from Genesis to Revelation and even as Eddie pointed out John 3:16 and 1John 3:16. His Word really will blow our minds and keep us wanting more and more if we will just dig deep enough.
Have to say my favorite part from yesterday was "where love abounds". It was a challenge to remember not to always trust our hearts and follow our hearts as so many will say because our hearts are inconsistent at times and our hearts will condemn us. I love the fact that God knows our hearts so well. He knows our motives and desires. He knows if we serve out of selfish ambition or for public praise and approval. And knowing us so well there is still no condemnation in Christ. He loves us and forgives us and redeems us. This is so good to remember especially when others are questioning our motives and they think they know us but they don't truly know our hearts. They are judging from what they are seeing with fleshly eyes on our outside. That's why it's so important to focus on being God pleasers and not people pleasers. Trust Him with our hearts!!
Love 2 final statements Eddie made...
We cannot be right with Him and not be right with others and
Quit beating yourself up because you mess up.
Happy Monday Everyone!!!
