I am so happy that Jesus sees me as holy before Him. He has forgotten my sin and laid it at the bottom of the sea. All these life lessons can condemn me, making me feel like a constant failure, but Jesus is the one I am living for. He offers a future with Him. I don't know what He has planned, but daily I am having to learn to trust Him with my everyday experiences. It's hard, but I am learning that I need to be willing to give up my right to happiness. What rights am I holding on to? Can I give them to Jesus? I need Jesus to help me trust Him with every area of my life so that I don't make the same mistakes over and over again.

There are so many thoughts going through my mind. Maybe you're the same way. About 15 minutes ago I paid for my gasoline. Just one more reminder that I don't have it all together in the finance aspect. So, what do I do about my finances? I have no idea. I feel the pressure to fix my situation, but what does God want? What is His purpose? I want to know God's purpose. I want to know His purpose in my life. I know He opens doors no one can open, and He shuts doors no one can shut. So, my prayer is that He will make it clear to me what His will is in every situation. What are you dealing with? Let's be here for each other and encourage each other to turn to God in our differing circumstances. I would love to hear your thoughts! Have a great day!
