Happy

Itz been awhile since I could say I'm happy... so I'm really happy that I'm experiencing happiness again. Living under gloomy and stormy clouds for awhile, itz nice to see the light shining again. And oh, how it shines and warms my soul. "How long have I been in this storm?" turns into "This is the day that the Lord has made/I will rejoice and be glad in it".

What have I learned during this time? Well, I learned that there is no such thing as a personal sin. All sins are relational sins. If I personally sin, it WILL affect other people. I mean, I knew this... but it was shown to me in a very personal way. I learned that forgiveness is going to take something out of me... just like forgiving me took something from Jesus. Forgiveness is coupled with restoration of a relationship not just words said to a person. I learned that I'm willing to change if I see people the way that they're supposed to be seen and not when I see people the way that I see them. I learned that I'm too busy being an image-builder instead of an image-bearer. I care more about building an image that others will see than just faithfully bearing it. I learned that we're not broken because we sin, we sin because we're broken. I learned AGAIN that though my sins are great, my God is greater. He's the One who changes me, not me changing myself though my own personal will and efforts.

Je t'adore mon Seigneur. T'es mon esperance et mon tout en tout.
