Hello! Just sitting here in my dorm room, not very tired, so decided to do some Bible searching and journaling.
During our floor Bible study today, as I was flipping through my Bible, I came upon a section entitled, “How Can I Be Sure That I am Saved?” This sparked my attention. For the last, umm, long time, I’ve had this constant struggle of feeling inadequacy and unworthiness. I don’t read my Bible nearly as much as I ought to. I do well to try and remember to pray once a day, which seems awful. I am so imperfect and struggle with my imperfections each and every day.
When reading through the section by Lenny Esposito, I discovered that more than anything, I need to just completely accept this and hand it over to God. For the last long time, I’ve just been thinking “Okay God, I’m getting tired of this. Get rid of it.” But I’m beginning to realize, that’s not what I should be saying at all. God has given us all imperfections. We all have them! Accept them, and learn to grow through them. God can use our impurities to touch the lives of others. Which is why I am deciding to post this journal entry to my blog that hasn’t really been used yet. I’m going to share my testimonies and hope that others may learn from them.
One verse I would like to point out from this passage was 2 Corinthians 3:18, which says “We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.”
How awesome. With unveiled faces (that reveal all of our imperfections), we are looking into a mirror that reflects the one and only God. We are reflections of God! How crazy!
Ok, there’s my crazy preaching for the night. I’m beginning to get tired, so I’m headed to bed. Goodnight all!
