He is at Work within Me

"He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." Ephesians 2:10

I opened my eyes, my heart heavy, and my mind full of thoughts.

This morning I found myself broken. Broken for many reasons. My sinfulness, the lost, those who have lost loved ones, my selfishness, my girlfriends fight with cancer and the condition of my heart.

And in the midst of all these thoughts the Lord made His way in and reminded me of His presence, His love, and the fact that the Holy Spirit is living and working within me.

Today I am thankful for the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I am thankful for the work He is doing within me. I am thankful that I am a child of the living God and because of that I can overcome my struggles with sin. I can serve others, I can make a difference for His kingdom. Because of Christ I can do the good things He planned for me long ago.

I am made new in Christ and I am beyond thankful that He saved me from my old self.

Jesus strengthen my faith and help me to believe all that Your word says. Thank You for Your saving grace and the richness of Your love. Amen
