I woke up at roughly 5:30 this morning. I was wide awake. I tried for several minutes to fall back asleep but I couldn’t. So I got up, went to the living room and turned on worship music. I started to sing and I could barely get the words out because I was so overwhelmed.
Overwhelmed because God has been so good to me. Overwhelmed because God sent His Son Jesus to pay my debt. Overwhelmed because Jesus’ death and resurrection was a sufficient sacrifice. My sins are paid for! It’s not Jesus+, it’s just Jesus. He’s enough.
I bawled my eyes out because I saw my unworthiness and God’s holiness. And I know I have no way to stand before a holy God and not endure His wrath, without Christ. I did nothing to earn my salvation, I can’t boast in my works. They are like dirty rags. I can only boast in Jesus.
I mentioned, a couple months ago, that I was struggling to wake up early enough to spend time in God’s word. Today makes a full week of waking up and reading the Bible/praying before starting my day. God woke me up, it wasn’t my own strength. It was His. I am so thankful https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
