Thank you God for your Unfailing Love! ♥

I wanted to share with you my devotion for today......it is from
Beth Moore...."Praying God's Word Day by Day"

October 22

The deeper you and I are rooted in the unfailing Love of God, the Less we sway when the winds of life blow harsly.

Father, you have warned me for my own good not to trust anything about my heart unless it is fully SURRENDERED to you. My heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. I will never be able to understand it. You the Lord search the heart and examine the mind. (Jer 17:9-10)
Please help me to recongnize that the primary target of deception is my heart. In other words, I must be careful not to trust feelings and emotions on their own. I must wear the breastplate of rightgeousness so that I will do the right thing even when I don't feel the right thing. In the meantime, I ask you Lord, to knead the right kind of feelings into my heart.

When I read this devotion this morning it struck me once again of Gods great love for us. He knows our hearts, yet He loves us.....He knows our thoughts.....yet He loves us.......He knows our selfishness at times.....yet He loves...He knows our plans.....yet He loves us and gently draws us to Himself and His plan for us. When we are rooted in His unfailing Love we are able to clearly see His compassion and forgivness. I am so thankful that the Lord constantly shows me when my heart is deceitful and wicked......It is a chance to repent of my wrong heart and ask Him to cleanse me. I want His righteousness to fill my heart! When I was little I remember asking the Lord to make my heart as white as snow.......and as an adult I am still asking Him to do that.

Surrendering to Him,
