Mute the noise! 2 years ago

If you’re like me, you can get swallowed up by all the surrounding noises of comparison, idealism, and goals. Add in my own noise of thoughts about everything, and it’s very easy to forget that what God thinks about you trumps anyone else’s thoughts about you. I am so glad to be loved by God all the time, even when I forget this fact myself. I’m not even capable of loving myself as much as He loves me. So counterintuitive, and so unlike anything else in the world.

denying the self 2 years ago

Man, it seems insurmountable at times. I have all kinds of thoughts and desires to the contrary, and I forget all the time that I have ‘Him who is able to do more than we ask or imagine.’ I need to remember that it’s not about my record, but Christ’s, and follow him in gratitude instead of duty.

Started devotions with my wife this morning. It was transforming – we read Luke 5:4-11.
