I've known about the blog/devotional study site called SheReadsTruth for about 2 years now. I found it through a great friend P (thank you, P). I have loved going through various devotionals online via my phone, my iPad, etc. over the last couple years. The most recent one that I have been a part of is a study on the book of Ruth. This one has really hit home with me in my present circumstances.
"Is there a discrepancy between the names by which Jesus calls you and the names you give yourself? Are there circumstances in your life to which you are giving undue power, power that rightfully—and in reality!—belongs to our sovereign God alone? Sister, who names you today—your God or your circumstances?"
This definitely a discrepancy between the names by which I call myself and the the name by which my Savior has given me. And why is that? Sin, of course. But why is it so hard to believe that God sees us as righteous, He sees us as His sons and daughters? He loves and cherishes us just as He does His own Son, Christ Jesus. How amazing is that?! And oh often I do not remember that or acting according to that fact!! I act as if I am still a slave to sin. I wonder how different I would treat myself and others if I acted/believed the Truth of the Gospel and lived it out everyday of my life?! That's my prayer for today, that the Gospel would be fleshed out in my life everyday. That Christ would use me to be a testimony to myself and to others.
By His Grace alone!
