Silenced.
Tonight I was shockingly reminded of the innumerable blessings that God Almighty has heaped upon me in these 25 years here on earth.
In addition, God silenced my rebellious attitude as I would look at situations in my life and complain in my heart at how things were not how I had planned them to be.
For some reason, I spent the majority of tonight cleaning and organizing some letters and cards that I had recieved from friends and family over the course of some 15 years. In doing so I realized how blessed I truly am by many people. Moreover, I recieved a phone call from my dear friend Paul whom I rarely get a chance to talk to, yet we spent about an hour sharing life together.
I am quite aware of God's mercy tonight. In His holy and righteous wrath, he should have crushed me. But He crushed His Son instead and saved me from death. Not only that, but He continues to pour grace and mercy on undeserving me. I'm not that great at describing what I'm feeling right now, but worshipful-fear is probably the best way to describe a small portion of it.
"THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE IS UNDERSTANDING" --Proverbs 9:10
