Thoughts on The Gospel

The mystery of the gospel is that I am accepted by God, made new through the power of the Holy Spirit and seen as forgiven and free all due to the work of Jesus Christ.  

I am certainly not deserving yet God in His infinite mercies takes a rebel like me and calls me His daughter.  He fills me with joy, He puts a new song in my heart and He places me on a path far greater than I could ever dream.  

This gospel sets me free, not to be who I want to be, but to be whom God created me to be.  When has the creation ever told the creator what its purpose is anyways?  I will trust that my creator holds within His hand a far better plan.  I will walk by faith and not sight trusting in the perfect promises of God.  

Oh, how I love the gospel!
