Today's sermon was really powerful-at least for me. I needed to hear it...because I needed these reminders desperately. I'm glad that these things are true-even when I don't always feel like they are, even when I forget to remember them.
-what we think doesn't define reality. can you imagine if that were actually the way reality worked? I don't like to think about a reality like that...even if in my own head it might be easier to grasp conceptually.
-feelings don't override facts-God's truth stands no matter what. another good reminder, especially in light of my new(er) tendency to base my thoughts and beliefs on how I'm feeling...
-when we come to Jesus he simply shows us his sufficiency. He doesn't point out our insufficiency. I wonder why it's still so hard to just come to him, to just trust that he will welcome me with open arms and hold onto me through everything.
-we don't have to wait until we've gotten everything straightened out and fixed to come to Jesus and begin trusting him.
-God works with our imperfections in his perfect timing to change us according to his good purpose. basically, he is sovereign and I am not, and he has everything under control-all the time. no matter how I feel or what I think.
