=) love her.
So when I feel gloomy and/or frustrated, I'm quickly reminded that the only place I'll find truth/encouragement/the perfect perspective is in the Word.
Psalm 18:30
This God—His way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.
Philippians 3:12
[ Straining Toward the Goal ] Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
Hebrews 10:14
For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
One of my leaders also reminded me several weeks ago that God has the PERFECT plan for me.
(Why is it so easy to quickly forget such basic truths?)
Then today, I came across my perfect acronym:
Prompt (done, performed, delivered, etc., at once or without delay: a prompt reply...ready in action; quick to act as occasion demands.)
Effective (adequate to accomplish a purpose; producing the intended or expected result)
Righteous (Slang - absolutely genuine or wonderful)
Freeing (enjoying personal rights or liberty, as a person who is not in slavery)
Eternal (without beginning or end; lasting forever; always existing ( opposed to temporal): eternal life.)
Trustworthy (deserving of trust or confidence; dependable; reliable)
Give Me Faith - Elevation Worship
I need You to soften my heart
To break me apart
I need You to open my eyes
To see that You're shaping my life
All I am, I surrender
Give me faith to trust what you say
That You're good and Your love is great
I'm broken inside, I give You my life
I need You to soften my heart
To break me apart
I need You to pierce through the dark
And cleanse every part of me
All I am, I surrender
I may be weak
Your Spirit's strong in me
My flesh may fail
My God You never will
ps - Happy December! :-) Praying this Advent season will renew & rekindle affections for our Savior as we raise our expectations of all that HE is able to do.
