I am so very blessed that I am no longer under any sort of condemnation. If my heart tries to condemn me, I can take that to Jesus, who bore all my shame and sin and mess and forever removed the right for condemnation to speak into my life ever again. I am forever right with God and free and clear.

I am so very blessed that God has given me eyes to be able to look at my own life and see how intricately God’s grace and power have been running through all my days. I am amazed at how I haven’t fallen apart or given over to anxiety when I surely would have at this point last year. In fact, I am completely amazed at what God has been doing in me. It astounds me.

I am so very blessed that I have family and friends who love and support me and see the best in me, even when I can’t. I love the encouraging posts and texts that always seem to come at just the right time with just the right message that I needed to hear.

I am so very blessed that I get to serve at Kairos and Kairos Roots alongside people who inspire and challenge and bless me. I am showing up to serve and end up receiving so much more than I give. I am blown away by the godliness I see in the people around me. Hopefully, it’s rubbing off on me.

I am so very blessed to know that my Jesus loves me, that my Jesus is forever for me, and that my Jesus won’t ever ever ever ever give up on me. His love is changing me from someone unloveable into someone who can love unconditionally and uncompromisingly. What fear could never do, what hate could never do, love has done.

Why am I blessed so much when I don’t deserve any of it? I will never know, but I know that I am beyond thankful.

Amen and amen.
