Thankful 9-14-22

 Thank you Lord for being able to reconcile with Lauren

Thank you for your blood and the righteousness of Christ

Thank you for the way they introduced and talked about Natasha leaving

Thank you for showing me my sin of bitterness, control and possessiveness for myself rather than for Christ's sake of people

Thank you for showing me my selfishness in wanting to go to the Blue Ash rec with mom

Thank you for helping me grow in how I responded to Lauren in my heart

Thank you for the Bubble baths 

Thank you for being a good father who is selfless and loves me and lays down your life for me selflessly

Thank you for reminding me that all that counts is faith expressing itself through love and that we reap what we sow

THank you for the promise of heaven and what an AMAZING reward that is

Thank you for your love that never leaves me

Thank you for my job and having a place to work

I Asked the Lord (feat. Emily Deloach)

Indelible Grace Music

I asked the Lord that I might grow
In faith and love and every grace
Might more of His salvation know
And seek more earnestly His face

'Twas He who taught me thus to pray
And He I trust has answered prayer
But it has been in such a way
As almost drove me to despair

I hoped that in some favored hour
At once He'd answer my request
And by His love's constraining pow'r
Subdue my sins and give me rest

Instead of this He made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart
And let the angry pow'rs of hell
Assault my soul in every part

Yea, more with His own hand He seemed
Intent to aggravate my woe
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed
Cast out my feelings; laid me low

"Lord, why is this," I trembling cried,
"Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death?"
"'Tis in this way," the Lord replied,
"I answer prayer for grace and faith"

"These inward trials I employ
From self and pride to set thee free
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
That thou mayest seek thy all in Me."
