So God has been wrecking me lately on a number of different sin issues, and it has not been an easy road. But the amazing thing is the truth of what we are told in Scripture, that for those who love God, He works all things for the good of those called according to His purpose.(Romans 8:28) He is still working on me but what has been awesome is how He has changes my perspectives.

The first thing God has been revealing to me is that though I have been waiting for years to pursue a girl I am still ridiculously impatient. I have lacked the trust that He will provide, I have not rested in the truth that I am His child and that He will provide for me in such a way that He will get the glory and I will have to rely on Him. It has been awesome to see God take the control, I want to have, from me. That is the second things He has been working on me.

I want to be in control that is how I have grown up all my life. This has affected the way I view friendships, relationships, and the way I act. All my life I would never do anything unless I knew I could accomplish it or that it would work out the way I wanted it to. As an adopted son of God that view is no longer acceptable. He has taken so much control from me and continues to ruin me, in such a great way. The more I trust in Him the more at peace I am about being single and what I am suppose to do with my life.

As a church we are going through Galatians and the resounding theme is "sola fide" by faith alone. That there is no other way in which we can come to God except for through faith alone, by grace alone,in Christ alone, for the glory of God. This affects everything I do on a daily basis. Why I do the things I do and my heart behind it all.

So my prayer is that God continues to wreck me to the point that my desire and all that I can do is trust in Him through the finished and complete work of Christ. Because truly there is rest and peace when I trust in Him.
