Psalms ::

As a Christian I battle the pride of, "I should have arrived in my faith by now." 
This is SUCH false thinking. 
If I've arrived what need of the God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit is there in my life? 
In the past & present I have been scared to go forward in church due to pride, but a few Sundays ago I went forward. 
Not needing to be saved, but needing to be washed again. 
I was in such a dark place, but the moment I set my pride aside and walked forward I literally felt free, felt chains falling, and my mind was clearing again. 
I encourage you today to go forward, 
humble yourself before God. He desires all of us... Our pain & our joy. 
I've come to grips with the fact that I will find myself going forward again & again & again...and that's ok. 
My hope is that it encourages others to do the same.

For some reason I've never been one to love reading the Psalms, but recently that's changed.
I love the constant love, grace, and mercy you find in them. 
Maybe I'm at a point in my life where I realize more and more how much I NEED those things from God.
Psalm 73 (above): 
Here David's talking about how foolish and ignorant he was being, then goes on to say, "YET..." 23-24
