Journey, an update 8-20-07

Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:1-5

God has been so good to me and I just want to take a moment and Praise Him for all His goodness poured out into my life. It is good to praise the Lord and to remember all His blessings poured out on me: a weak, forgetful, sinner. I read once how the words in these verses, sins and diseases, can actually be translated rebellion and perversions. God takes away our rebellious hearts and He is able to heal the perversions that disease our soul. God’s grace is overwhelming and His love is amazing! While I was still His enemy, in love He made a way for me to become a cherished daughter. He pursued me in His love, just as He even now pursues so many who are still running from His love. Praise the Lord for His redemption – may it reach to the ends of the earth and enfold all those who will come to Him. Thank the Lord that I can have the privilege of participating in bringing this unfathomable redemption to the people of Hungary.
