They say that life is a progression of things.  I was young; and now I am older.  My walk with God has been a progression.  I can look back and see places and people and opportunities that God ordained and the ones that I manufactured.  I can see where He drew me to Him when I did not know Him as I should.  I see how He still tries to call me to Him even though I might not take the time to sit with Him.  I can see where He protected me, but I was oblivious to His mighty protection.  It took a long time for me to see and know His love, and that He loved ME.  Yes, ME!  That was a long journey all on its own.  It was easy to see I was a sinner.  It was easy to see that I needed to be saved from a life of abuse and shame and anger.  I can look back and remember when I was reading His word and hearing His word and was guided by the Holy Spirit, and understood that He loved me.  Thank God for His mercy and grace in and on my life.  Thank God for the deliverance and freedom He offers that only comes by Jesus Christ.  I pray that I will continue to progress in Him and for Him.   I thank God that I am forgiven and that I continue to grow in the knowledge of what His heart is and not mine.  When I look at someone and say I don't like them for whatever reason; I find the words in my head telling me it doesn't matter, God likes them.  God loves them, just as He loves me.  It is not at all about me.  It is all about Him.  To die to myself is to gain an eternal life with my heavenly Father.
