Safe, In The Arms Of Jesus


They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I believe it about this one. I've been thinking about this feeling a lot in the last few days. To have come this far in life with a wonderful Godly Dad, and to know that I'm moving towards a life with another wonderful Godly man. God is good to me, and I do not deserve it!
 That's another thing I've been thinking about. Deserving Gods goodness. It's very humbling to keep coming back to the realization that I can never ever deserve Gods goodness. He freely gives. It's only by Gods grace, and Jesus death, that I can live fully in the goodness of God! It's mind boggling isn't it!?
  We were reading in Matthew last night, about the woman who went to Jesus asking for her sons to be seated at His right and left. I've always been amazed at Jesus gentle, gracious answer, "Woman, you know not what you ask". I know that He still does that for me. I can be pretty dramatic and unreasonable sometimes. But Jesus is always gracious and gentle, "Woman, you know not what you ask. I know best. Wait on me.".  All those verses about our steps being ordered by the Lord, and Him leading us, guiding our feet. They're amazing. Because in the chaos of life its pretty easy to forget that He is in control. But He always is. Completely. And for this I am deeply  grateful.
