Repentant

I am thankful this morning!  I really got to hear my husband's heart on a few things he has been wrestling with, and he also got to hear mine.  While he was out teaching sunday school last night God revealed to me during a time of prayer; that I have been hard-hearted, prideful and not gentle with him.  I find it so easy to be soft, humble and gentle with other people....and that really brought me to a place of repentance.  When I'm bothered by someone else, it is usually my problem!  I thank God that he has adopted me, and will never leave me or forsake me in my pride and sin.

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. 
In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will - to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given in the One he loves.
  Ephesians 1:4-6

Thank you Daddy that through Jesus I am made righteous, not by anything that I do - but to your glory!  Please help me to walk in grace, humility, gentleness and compassion with those I hold dearest to my heart.
