amazed!

Jesus never ceases to amaze me. In the time I need it most, he provides for me. ALWAYS. This weekend at Passion, I was feeling very disconnected from God. I wanted to sing the songs to Him and really believe and feel what I was saying, but it just wasn't there. I just kept praying to Him, telling him although I'm not perfect, and I make mistakes, that I really do love Him, and want to live my life for Him, and I just wanted to feel His presence in me. Soon enough, as I was singing, I really began to feel His power. I felt Him saying that although I do mess up, He still loves me and still wants me to be his DAUGHTER. I don't know what it is about saying that I'm a daughter of Christ. It gives me this feeling to say it or sing it, that I can't explain. It might be because my Dad isn't here on earth, but that feeling that I belong to my Almighty and Heavenly Father makes me feel so close to God. He truly allowed me to feel his love and amazing grace all through the rest of Passion. I realized that I often times I forget to remember God in my everyday life. I go on with my routine and don't think "Where is God in everything I do?" I know He's always there, but I often forget who exactly I am living for. Having Jesus in your life is truly a blessing, and I want to always remember that He is my rock, and He is who I am living my very messy, imperfect life for, and he loves me all the same.
