Getting Ready

As I get ready for Thanksgiving, God is preparing my heart in many ways but I would like to share a few of them.

Crucify myself…. I am so surprised how often I am thinking about myself instead of others. Driving, buying, parenting, youth pastoring and even in my time with God I find myself at the center of my prayers. I read the word and filter it through what does this mean for me. What I am saying is I am sick of myself and God is sick of it, too.

I am thankful for who God is… (Take some time to think about this)

all Powerful, all knowing, all wise, great provider, giver of counsel, My Shepherd who disciplines, cares for me, leads me through the valley of death and helps me fear no evil. He is doing a custom work inside me (sanctified). He pulls me out of the pit of my sin (redeems). He is a complete forgiver. He is my Father that desires the best for me. He reigns Supreme and demands me to follow Him. He is a God who sacrifices and is mysterious. He is dangerous and unpredictable, but loves me in my broken, and undone state.

I can’t even tell you how in awe I am of you, God. Thank you for loving me and inviting me into an intimate relationship with you.

That all for now,

Glenn
