Saved

Today grabbed me by the hand and reminded me, gently, that I need a Savior.

My mind hopped around the Internet while precious seconds passed like diamonds through a sewage grate. I stuffed my temple with worthless fluff.

I wasted my words on boys. I entertained thoughts that lack significance. I trampled on gifts.

I need a Savior.

I chose uneasiness over peace, laziness over productivity, and trash over health.

In this process of growing in holiness, days like today remind me that I lack the ability to purify myself. My strength and vitality must come from the LORD. And what a gracious Savior He is! The Messiah created a way for His Spirit to strengthen me.

This life, this day, and this second are not about my words, my thoughts, my gifts, or my choices. They are all about Jesus.

Thank God life's not about me. Tomorrow, I pray that He will give me the strength to walk in that truth.

He saves me from myself every morning. My life needs to look like it.
