[Current Music |Give Me Faith- Elevation Worship]

I never realized this till now... but I've been extremely selfish with my faith and relationship with Jesus.

Somewhere deep inside myself I feel like I deserve more from God, that I've gone through too much stuff and have held it against Jesus like a blackmail to Him. Like, "God, you made me go through ____, so because of that I'm going to pick something that I know isn't from You at all."

And that be it, I wouldn't have remorse, I wouldn't feel that bad about it. In the aftermath of it all I would just sit back and think, "Whoops."

These last few weeks I've really come to WANT TO live a life of honor to God. By picking Him, and seeking His glory out in all things. Sure, it's hard and I still want to pick sinful things... but I know that when I glorify Him- He is happy.

And isn't that all that matters?

That at the end of the day all glory, praise and thanksgiving goes to God?
I want to live a life not sitting down.
I've played it safe, and haven't risked as much as I know God is calling me to.
And honestly, that's not fair to the one who loves me no matter what I pick...

So I guess this is a declaration of change and a new chapter in the story God is writing for my life.

He wants me to live a life of miraculous possibilities, of second chances, and grace.

I'm ready.
And I'm stoked for the next.

In Him,
Amy Elizabeth
