Christians tend to see the grace of God as something that just forgives your sin when you blow it (which is true). But the grace of God also empowers your life so that you live differently, passionately, purposefully, and meaningfully.
— Pastor Mark Driscoll
Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”.

Hebrews 13:5
During a time when all I can think about is graduation and getting a job that pays a lot of money; and believing the lie that money is my savior and will grant me security.. God shows me this verse through my friend, reminding me of His provision and His faithfulness.
…I want to be holy like You are.
But the harder I try the more clearly can I feel the depth of our fall and the weight of it all.
And so this might could be the most impossible thing.
Your grandness in me making me clean.

Another reminder of how much I am in need of Jesus.

Oh heart of mine, why must you stray?
From One so fair, you run away.
And one more time you have to pay
the heaviness of needless shame.
Oh heart of mine, come back home.
You’ve been too long out on your own.
and He’s been there all along
watching for you down the road.
So come home running, His arms are open wide
His name is Jesus, He understands
He is the answer you are looking for
So come home running, just as you are
Oh child of God, so dearly loved
And ransomed by the Savior’s blood
And called by name, Daughter and Son
Wrapped in the robe of righteousness
Insert the word “studying”.
