tough. Living this christian life, that is. I get in the way of myself more than I’d like but God is so faithful and good. Really His faithfulness and goodness is what gives me peace. And I speak of these things separate from me. God isn’t good because He’s good to me or faithful because He’s faithful to me. He’s good and faithful because that’s just who He is. It doesn’t matter whether I think I’m “experiencing” God’s goodness or faithfulness because He’s still good and faithful! No matter what happens with me, He is still going to be glorified and Jesus is still victorious! The more I understand this, the more I realize this life really isn’t about me, but all about Him. The victory is already won. Talk about no pressure! Now I’m just trying to mimic His heart, walk in His Spirit and live in response to who He is. My failures are merely stepping stones anchored by his grace that are taking me to victory. It’s this victory I anticipate. I need to anticipate it more.
