Again and again, Jesus repeatedly tells me and teaches me of His faithfulness. When I have no patience or kindness or humility left in me, He fills me up and gives me His joy which displaces the struggles I face in life.
Sometimes, when someone is rude or unkind to me, I'm tempted to gossip about them or draw attention to their attitude, but gently, He reminds me to love my neighbor as myself and to pray for those I dislike. He reminds me to give grace just as He has given such abundant grace to me.
He is my righteousness, my peace, my grace, my LIFE. How could I live without Him? I could not. There is NO life outside of Him and I praise Him for "...holding {me} back from stumbling to the slaughter" and "...rescuing {me} from being taken away to death".
Sweet surrender and sacrifice in my life is all I have to give.
I will LIVE to worship Him.
My life as an offering - my life for the Gospel.
