Do not forget, O my soul

Do not forget O, my soul, all of his wonderful benefits. Do not forget all He has done for you. He has taken you from the ashes and has seated you with princes. While you were an enemy of God, he said yes to you and said it is worth it, I will lay down my life for you. Do not think what you do, or what you have done, or even the attitudes of your heart can change his mind. You cannot change his feelings and thoughts towards you. It is finished. His mercy surrounds you. At all times. Goodness and mercy abound around you. Though you may not feel it at times, He has crowned you with loving kindness, and tender mercies. Remember, remember what He has done for you. How can this not cause utter praise? He has washed you. He has taken brokenness and made it into His treasure. I cannot even grasp or put this into words. Remember, O my soul, what He has done. Remember who he is. Even when your problems seem so big, or even when you feel so incomplete, so "unwhole", so broken, remember His mercy towards you. Remember what is already accomplishes through that cross. His mercy that surrounds you at all times. He has made you clean. Jesus. Remember how real He is. How what He did really happened, and is really true. It's not just an idea. remember the reality of where you were without Him. Remember the reality of His love, and what His love compelled Him to do. Remember His tender compassion. It so cannot be earned. Let your heart sit in that. Let it expand in His grace. Set your heart before Him and watch as these little life cares seem to fade, and His "bigness" His awesomeness takes over you. It puts things into perspective. It reminds you what you're living for. It reminds you who you are in Him. My heart finds it's home before His throne. How secure, how safe. How good He is towards us to offer that. To let our hearts find their home in Him. How good, tender, merciful and gentle. O, that my heart would forever remember His goodness towards me and what He's done. Words cannot earn it, good acts and attitudes cannot earn it. God is so good, do not forget. Look to your Maker. The next time the world spits something at you. Lord, teach me more of what you have done. Let my soul boast in you continually. Let it soak in your goodness. Let the walls of pride, inadequacy, striving to earn it come crumbling down. Give my heart and mind understanding. Jesus, is worthy of all of my praise. Always. He is enough. I am enough in Him because He says so. Jesus, I want my life to praise you and soak in your freedom. I LOVE YOU! And I know I've only scratched the surface of loving you and being loved by you. (Well in my mind). Thank you God. Continue to perfect my understanding by your grace. Perfect my praise by your mercy. Let me soak it AALLLL in. Show me how you've done it all.
