Ain't nothing special about me. I'm just like you. I struggle. I get mad. I cuss from time to time. People piss me off. I have bad days. I doubt. I love. I laugh. I cry. I drink a little every now and then. I love coffee. My kids and husband are my heart.
The only difference is that when God sees me instead of my sin, He sees the blood of Jesus.
I think people think that when you get saved you become perfect. That is a crock of bull! I will never be perfect. However, when I am in the midst of all that life brings I am never walking it alone. Jesus is always walking with me.
There is comfort in knowing that I don't walk alone.
I still am a sinner and always will be. My salvation doesn't stop my sinning, it allows me access to God in spite of my sin. I am not immune to bad things happening. Good things do not magically happen to me all the time. I am not rich and I am not happy all the time. All I did was accept God's gift of forgiveness and salvation. I've latched on to His promise to never leave me. I've latched on to His promise that He would supply my needs. I've latched on to His promise that there is something so much better than this world. And this gives me the joy, peace, patience, happiness and fight to keep living until God ends my journey on this earth.
I'm just a regular, ordinary sinner saved by grace. And living under His mercy. Holding on to His unchanging hand. He hasn't failed me yet.
