Pondering Today...

Today a very good friend reminded me that everything we endure in our lives moulds us into who we are today. There is no-one exactly like me. This wise friend explained that a little sapling tree while pretty and perfectly shaped is in reality rather boring, a bonsai on the other hand is shaped and pruned and crafted after the gardener's design. I think I'm a little like that bonsai. Bits of my life have been pruned away. It has been shaped by situations and circumstances throughout my life. I can see now that my life has been crafted by the Master's hand and today I am the person He intended me to be. Romans 8:28 shows me that all things can work together for good for those called according to His purpose. (My paraphrase). Awesome!

Pondering today...

I was pondering today on the saving grace of God. The thought occurred to me, God not only forgives and forgets He also forgets that He has forgiven in the first place. Our slate is truly wiped clean. It's like the disk of our lives is deleted, but in reality there is no recorded of anything on the disk. How great is that!
