I am a wicked sinner...but...

...when no one loves me I know Jesus will stand in the gap.

A revelation I have received recently (I know, I know it's taken a while) is that God is my strength. He does not build me up so I can do it for myself....'cause I will always fail to my weaknesses. He builds me up to love, serve and rely on him more.

I am reading a daily devotional at the moment (from some guy called Spurgeon) and the following is from him:
Are you distressed because of sin, and burdened with the heavy load of your iniquities? Listen to these words-"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions, and will no more remember thy sins."

If you have lost the sweet sense of the Saviour's presence, and are seeking him with a sorrowful heart, remember the promises: "Return unto me, and I will return unto you;" "For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee."

Now I know its old words...but I got a message from it. Jesus will always love me. I just need to turn to him.
