Peace & Joy

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into his grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God." - Ro 5:1-2

Lord, I am so thankful for You. You are my peace and my joy.

My housemate who has decided to follow the Enemy's plans instead of God's glorious plans just finished moving out of my house an hour ago. Phew. My two months of having a strange boy use my bathroom, finding dirty floss in the shower, and having front row seats to this girl's spiritual death are over!

As she left with her boyfriend, I was overcome with gladness that I am the Lord's and He is mine. God, you are my peace and my joy. I often think I really want a boyfriend/eventual husband SO BADLY, but you know, with You in my life, I don't think I feel it as much as those without you feel it.

I just have a little boy void, but others have a God void AND a boy void that they try to stuff both with a boy.

I am so thankful for your love for me! God, please forgive me for speaking badly about others and telling third parties about things that aren't their business. I ask for a new start where I am careful not to speak poorly of others because I don't want them to speak poorly of me. I want to treat those you love with the same love you show me.

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -Ro. 5:8
