a backwards mindset...

Some more thoughts from the spring...

------
CHOOSE to meditate upon an aspect of GOD’S character Every day…to remind yourself of WHO HE is…if you keep in mind the truth of his character and plain amazingness…you will have a more difficult time falling into spiritual amnesia. :)

How much of my life do I live thinking that GOD is here to do MY bidding…to bless me and answer my questions and comfort me and show me where to take my life…But in all honesty… It’s about HIM. He is God.

Jess, He doesn’t owe you an account for the things He has done or is doing. You are the one who owes Him an account—not the other way around. “Can you worship a god who isn’t obligated to explain his actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation? Do you really believe that compared to God, “all the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing”—including you?” (Crazy Love 33-34)
