Forgiven not forgotten

Here I am, I say to the Lord...now what???

life has been a bit bumby lately and I had to take the advice i have been hearing without hearing...."retrace your steps to when you first felt the abscence of God, somewhere along the line you got distracted, you were disobedient, you forgot who you are in Christ and now you wander around in the wilderness feeling alone"

I can hear Paul say "the thorn in my flesh" testimony..it just wont go away....buit instead of relying on the Lords grace for my strength I impatiently seek him with a sorrowful heart asking where to from here??
But Myles blog gave me the answer to this endless pursuit of God without answers....
"drawn unto me and I will draw unto you"

He also reminded me that the Lord loves me and has forgotten my transgressions so i need to stop condemning myself with every failure, which is bizzarre because this was one of my favourite scriptures, but somehow I forgot all about it.
" so far is the east is from the west..So far have i removed your sins from you"

Thanks for reminding me again who I am in Jesus!!!

A sinner saved!!!

cuz...I need daily reminders of who am I in Jesus...that he will always love me...when no one else will...and that whatever my shame and distractions...his love will cover them all.

how did i survive without it?
