2 Peter 3:18 says to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."

Jeremiah 15:16 says "Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O LORD, God of hosts."

Romans 8:31 asks "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" 

These verses have become some sort of a life-theme for me over the summer. 

2 Peter 3:18 because I honestly have no higher desire than to glorify my Father in heaven, and to do so by following the example Jesus led. Also, the promise of grace and the gift of knowledge through the word keep me in complete awe of who God is revealing Himself to be (Rom.1:18), and fulfilled in the promises the Bible proclaims.

Jeremiah 15:16, because I find myself craving the word of God, and to learn more about His character. I am filled with joy when I read God's word and discover more of His truths, and He truly is becoming the complete delight of my heart <3

Romans 8:31 because it boasts of God's love, commitment, and desire for the best for us as humans. It is remarkable how much God actually loves us. It goes on in Romans 8:37 how we, as children of the King, are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who saves us, covers us with His grace and love, and brings us to the Father (John 14:6).

God's word is altogether perfect, masterfully crafted, and true to itself. I love it!

In other news, I played for a wedding today, and bawled like a baby. Their honest, raw, sincere love for each other was plain. I desire a love like that, someday. Selfless, true, and God-driven. So excited for what the future holds... plenty of adventures, I'm sure :)

Also, was called a gypsy twice today when telling of my year and future plans/ opportunities ahead... God is just SO awesome. :)

I can't believe it's July already. I can't believe how much I've grown in who I am in Christ this summer. I can't believe how God has used me. I can't believe where God is leading me.

I'm so overwhelmed with God's love; His perfect, holy, merciful, graceful, magnificent and binding love that covers my sins with the cleansing blood of His son, Jesus Christ. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, just in the same way Paul was not as he wrote to the Romans. I have been transformed, renewed, and covered by grace. My old, sinful condition was nailed to the cross. And even though I may stumble and sin, there is NOTHING I can do that can or will ever separate me from the love of God. 

Knowing this, I can live the new life He's called me to live. A full life of victory. Because I am MORE than a conqueror. I am a victor in Christ. 

Unbelievable. He's so amazing, glorious, God of everything. Wow.
