Journey Day 40

I love reading! A good book keeps me captivated for hours and hours, and not much can distract me! Right around when I started this journey, I decided I would journey through books, beginning with "Lady in Waiting", then "Ms Understood" which helped me explore who God created me to be as a woman. Now I'm reading "Untamed" by Lisa Harper. I'm only on the second chapter, but it seems like its the perfect book for me to read next! The first chapter basically sums up what "Ms Understood" was about, the grace of God portrayed through the women in his Son's lineage, and then goes on to talk about who God is. Now that I know who I am, and who Christ created me to be, it's time that I find out who GOD is! Often we have the picture of Jesus as a frail, pale, man. Who would feel safe, secure and protected with that image? Not I! Luckily, all these years I have had the wrong image of my Savior. He is strong, and powerful, and my strong tower. He protects me and loves me, he is WILD! He is passionate about me and jealous for me! He pursues me constantly, just as he pursues all of his children! He is devoted to me not matter what I do, no matter how many times I do it, his grace and power are sufficient to cover my sin! He is my HERO. He is devoted and passionate about you and I, a broken hurting people! My savior is tough, not some wimpy boy. He withstands temptation like no other, and comes to my rescue every single time! I do not deserve such blessings and yet God is wild about me! I am blessed beyond measure and thankful for the love and strength my savior provides!
