Hey! Where's my stuff?!
05/03/07 03:10 PM
I've been blogging for almost three months now, but
every 1st entry of every month I open up my blog
and, "Aaaaahhhhh! Where are all my posts? What
happened to all that work?" Well, every month they
get neatly archived in the bottom left hand corner
of this page. They're still there. You just have to
click on the month and voila they appear! I know
that's what happens. I know it's coming. But I
still freak out for about 2 seconds. I know, I'm
weird that way. The next thought is, "A blank page
- what in the world will I say this month."
Although most of you know that having something to
say is not my problem (whether or not it's worth
listening to or reading is another story).
But today, this 1st post of May, I had another thought. Every day is a new day with God. Every day is a fresh start - a new beginning, a clean slate. He takes my goofs, my mistakes, and my sins - and you know what He does, if I humbly come to Him asking for forgiveness and the power to change? He doesn't neatly archive them, ready to throw them up in my face when needed. Psalm 103:12, "as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." I Corinthians 13 reminds us that love keeps no records of wrongs. Isaiah 1:18, "No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow (or a blank blogging page). Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as wool." I need that reminder and that grace every day! What about you? And how are you at extending that kind of love and grace to the people around you? People need Jesus. People need truth and grace. Let's be a church that overflows with both.
