My Place of Grace

Forever in my Heart...Song May Your peace reign forever in my heart May Your peace reign forever in my heart Lord you came, you took the blame For all my sin and shame Thank You Lord May Your peace reign in my heart May Your peace reign forever in my heart May Your peace reign forever in my heart Lord You came You bore the pain That was tearing me apart Thank You Lord May Your peace reign in my heart. May Your peace reign forever in my heart May Your peace reign forever in my heart Lord You came You called my name And You gave me a new start Thank You Lord May Your peace reign in my heart.

Where does my confidence come from? A question I've been confronted with time and time again. Life situations keep pointing me to it. I am a Christian and I know that my strength, who I am, is supposed to be rooted in Christ. But is it really? If I am honest with myself, the answer is...I want it to be, I want to believe beyond any shadow of a doubt, that I am strong and secure in Him, a jewel in His crown, the apple of His eye. But in my humanness, there is always that seed of doubt, that gnawing feeling that I don't measure up, I'm a miserable failure over my life.... and actually without Jesus that is true. I am a terrible captain over my own ship. This is something I constantly struggle with. How do I let go of my expectations? How do I rest totally in the arms of the One who created me? The One who is in control? How do I reach that level of trust and contentment? I am on a mission, seeking after God's peace. This is what I want. I want to live out of this picture...
