God's Mercy in the Sunrise
15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” (NIV)
We must make the choice daily to die to self and follow Jesus. Through my experience here at Casa Bernabe I have learned so much about the selfishness of my own human nature. So often I desire my own comfort over the needs of others; it is only through the grace of God and the gift of His Holy Spirit that I am able to reject my natural tendency and serve with a joyful heart. And so it is with all of us who choose to live in the Spirit. So be encouraged dear friends. He is faithful, and truly, His mercies are new every morning. I sincerely hope that this post is cohesive enough in thought to communicate what God is laying on my heart.
