Blessings: Day 11

Monday, 6 June 2016

Today I attended Day 1 of a week if leadership training.

Before I ever went in, I thought about the first leadership training I went to when I was in high school (thank you, Rotary). I was 17. I'm twice that now.  My heart was full as I thought about how much I have changed since then. I love 17- year old Ruth. I'm thankful for her righteousness and diligence.

But I am even more thankful for Jesus Christ. Though him, these years of learning and growth have led to confidence and happiness. Love for others and the ability to reach out lift others. No more of the kind of fear that I felt then. Deep, fulfilling sureness, grounded on the rock that is Jesus Christ. I can't explain, but it fills my soul. I'm thankful for Him, and for all that He has done with me in these years.

Today I felt His love and was filled with love for him and a deep sense of indebtedness for his grace and mercy.
