David

Today I was reading about David, one of the most famous kings in the Old Testament. His life is such an inspiration. He goes from being some small shepherd boy that nobody knew about to being one of the most mighty kings of his time. And through it all you see his turmoil, joy, pain, anger, suffering, and loyalty. What amazes me the most is his heart. You can read how human he was. He killed a lot of people. He committed adultery. He messed up...a lot. But his heart was quick to repent. This is why God loved him so much. Because he was quick to get on his knees and ask for forgiveness, God established him and made him one of the most mighty men in that era.

I too am just as human as David. I do things I shouldn't do. In my life I've come to realize that God isn't out to get me. He isn't waiting for me to make a mistake just so he can punish me. No! He is drawing me closer, inviting me to discover who He is. He has so much planned for my life, as well as yours. He knew that I would fail. Actually, he planned on it. But his love for me and everyone else in this world is so great that he doesn't care. He promises to take our sin away as far as the east is from the west when we repent. He promises to draw close as we draw near to him. He promises to give us rest in this crazy world.

This is a God I want to love and serve. Wholeheartedly. Hold nothing back. I challenge you to do the same. Put your trust in Him. This is where you will find strength. Find peace. Find hope. Don't worry about screwing up. It's gunna happen, guaranteed! Just be quick to repent. Let God take care of you.

cheers.
