These past few days I've been really trying hard to center myself again and I finally feel like I'm back to where I was. I really had just stopped looking for God in my everyday life but I'm beginning to see Him again and see what He is doing in my life. Today, I went to chikfila with Claire and we had a mini bible study but Alex was suppose to be there so I had made the bible study like more relevant to her but she didnt even go. So, Claire and I ended up just talking about what she's learning and what she's starting to see now and we talked through the bible verses.
One in particular that i forgot to share with her but sent to her afterward was "Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshipping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big day approaching." Hebrews 10:24-25 MSG.
I found this verse in the back of my last journal and I absolutely fell in love with it.
My Younglife leader Katie gave me a packet with like copied pages from this book called Jesus Calling and it's really like opened my eyes today the reading started with "Beware of seeing yourself through other people's eyes." And later on it said "it is much more real to see yourself through My eyes. My gaze upon you is steady and sure, untainted by sin. Through My eyes you can see yourself as one who is deeply, eternally loved. Rest in My loving gaze, and you will recieve deep Peace. Respond to My loving Presence by worshipping Me in spirit and in truth.
This paragraph spoke to me so much. It reminds me of when I first accepted Christ into my life and reminds me of why I first fell in love with him. He loves me no matter what I've done, no matter what I look like and no matter who I am. He filled the emptiness in my heart. And he made me feel accepted. He makes me feel like enough.
