Every day, we are faced with life decisions - some that seem minuscule and some more significant... but it is often in the little things that our character is most tested. We can all think of things that we wish we did better. And thanks be to God that his mercies are new every morning. What a gift!
- Lamentations 3:22-23
Simply put... it is by a heart of repentance (turning away) from those mistakes that we are able to recover and continue walking with the Lord. A daughter of the King with a repentant heart is never rejected by her Father.
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
- 2 Chronicles 7:14
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart—These, O God, You will not despise.
-Psalm 51:17
And it is with this promise that we continue to grow and recover from our flawed, sin nature; receiving God's grace and mercies EACH day. Because rest assured, daughter, that tomorrow holds mistakes that yesterday could not have foreseen. Praise God that we are covered in un-ending grace as we continue the daily journey of overcoming, by the Power of the Spirit.
Being transformed little by little, each day - from glory to glory, into His image:
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:18
Not by our own strength...
Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.
Zechariah 4:6
But by His...
But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
-2 Corinthians 12:9
