"If our single, all-embracing passion is to make much of Christ in life and death, and if the life that magnifies Him most is the life of costly love, then life is risk, and risk is right. To turn from it is to waste your life." --John Piper

Every Morning
Every day, every morning we are faced with the question: Will you waste this day or will you live for Him?
Every morning after a rough night where you are struggling and at times, falling, you are faced with the question.
How will we live our day? Will we be sulking around in failure and guilt from what happened yesterday, or last night?
That's not how God wants us to live. Yes, He wants us to repent, but not live on in guilt that tells us that He will never forgive us!
1 John 1:9
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
He promises! Right there! He will forgive if you really mean it. He means for us to have sorrow over sin, but not to the point that we are wasting our lives in a spiritual depression.
Each and every day, whether we had a good night or a rough one; we are faced with the question each morning: 'Will I waste my life or live with all of my might for Him?"
God Bless,
A.W.
