Jumble of lindsey thoughts in the morning

People usually disappoint you; this is understandAble, since were all sinful, and knowing that im also very sinful like sooooo sinful! But part of my sinful nature is feeling sad when i think people are loving and encouraging and then they kinda arent……..but in thinking things through i realized that the biggest mistake was within myself. Why am i basing my joy on others? Only God can bring me true joy, because only He is sufficient for me, only He showers me with so much love that i can experience the effects of His love every single moment in the peace of Christ and remembrance of my own salvation. Really, only God can satisfy; thus, i want to just focus my thoughts on Him and dwell on His power and holiness and perfect righteousness and His amazing love for me that He displayed through Christ on the cross. Praying that i will be able to truly let this sink into my heart and that there wouldnt be any room for sadness that comes from disappointments from people, because im just overflowing with thankfulness and praise to God. He bestowed upon me the most undeserved gift in the universe, which is Christ; but the amazing part to me is the imputation of Christ’s righteousness. God’s power is so great that He can cover my sins with Christ’s perfection and see me as sinless as Christ. This never fails to baffle me, because i constantly just see myself full of sins, but God is truly mighty to save; He can save everyyone, including me, when im such a dumb and wretched person. But i pray that through me He would be glorified; that through my shortcomings and utter failures, that these would show just how powerful He is, that He can and does draw someone as low as me to Him……and i pray that my life would reflect this great and amazing work that He has done in me (and continues to work in me) through a constantly joyful attitude, ceaseless prayer, and an overflow of love and kindness to others. :) me wuvs yoo

Note for lindsey:

When you feel like people arent encouraging or loving to you, still show love to them because that’s what Jesus did for you.

my life is full of stupid decisions…but thankfully God is here and somehow He is making this all work for my sanctification and His glory. praise the LORD heehee.

i’m really thankful for my GOC freshmen that God has blessed me with. i love that they always spur me on to be more Christ-centered in everyday life, and that they always encourage me. even though we’re still getting to know each other, i’m so thankful that we are growing in love for one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, and i’m excited to grow with them and run the race with them in the coming years. even just the funny crazy times are really great….fun and fellowship and friends…i’m so blessed!

1 Thessalonians 5:11

need to slow down and not overwhelm myself. i like nights like this where i stay up late just cause, where i can think in my own head and figure things out. thanks God, for showing me that just because other people seem to be able to do everything, that i’m different and adjust myself to things slowly but ultimately you still love me. i need so much growth in about a million ways, but i’m thankful that He is working in me rather than just me by myself:)

Lord please let me find the way that i can best glorify Your Holy Name.
