Why do I forget how blessed I am? Why does it take sunshine, no classes, and the prospect of chocolate for me to remember that?
Today I finished my last class of my sophomore year. I just hiked around in the beautiful spring weather with good friends. The words of this song are playing in my head: "Blessed be Your name when the sun's shining down on me...when the world's all as it should be..."This is where I am right now, and yet even still I am weary. How can I expect to praise the Lord in the dark times when there is tragedy and pain if I can't even do it now?
It is only by His grace, by His life. His life in mine. His life is mine. Love is defined by the way my Savior, Father, and Creator loves me. He will give me strength and I can rest in his unconditional grace and love toward me. Jesus, help me to remember who I am You; how You have blessed me!
