Forgiven and Loved
I constantly need to remind myself that the only way I can fix myself is to stop trying to fix myself by doing it through my own strength and understanding that the blood of Christ is enough.
..Don’t excite love, don’t stir it up,
until the time is ripe—and you’re ready.
until the time is ripe—and you’re ready.

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
And this is my prayer: I pray that your love will grow more and more. I pray that you will have better understanding and be wise in all things. I pray that you will know what is the very best. I pray that you will be true and without blame until the day Christ comes again. And I pray that you will be filled with the fruits of right living. These come from Jesus Christ, with honor and thanks to God.
