Obsession

There's a true beauty in being led by the Holy Spirit. Here's how it starts out with me, I sit down to write about what I think my blog should be about, a few lines into it, God transforms it into something completely different than I ever imagined. As I was writing today and thinking about how excited I've been feeling about the journey God has me on, my writing quickly took a turn and was purely and simply God giving me a reminder that I needed.

There are days that I feel I've wasted the time I've been given thus far and then I'm reminded of the great story of redemption that has been written with my life. No doubt there are still times I fail, but Christ reminds me that those failures are more chapters of God's unending grace. I've been handed a story that can't be denied because I know every piece. I have a daily reminder of the darkness I have been lifted out of by the sacrifice of a loving God and along with that also a inconceivable testimony. He took the life of a lost, hurt little girl who thought if she was tough enough she could make it and made new a woman that is covered by the blood, grace and love so big it's unimaginable.  As David Crowder Band's song Obsession puts it, "I'm so filthy with my sin." but to think of how pure and clean we are, covered in His blood, is unfathomable.
