BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER
WORD WEDNESDAY
by KM Wilsher
Revelation. Lots of encouragement in Revelation. Lots of encouragement to "overcome" and I need that right now, for sure. . .
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. Revelation 2:7
However, a friend of mine posted this verse on her Facebook a while back:
He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. Ps.18:19
Something clicked inside of me when I read it. He delights in me? Me the sinner, the one who makes all these mistakes? The selfish girl, whose mind wanders all day?
Sure I try hard and most of the time, and every moment is lived for Him. I know he forgives me, but it goes further. He delights in me?
Of course, He does.
Suddenly I found myself in a "spacious place". My heart swelled and peace overtook my emotions. . .
What are you reading this week?
Stay tuned to BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER! Lots to do this summer 2010 :0)

Thanks for this.
I've been reading James. Been needing that encouragement a little bit. Now I'm on to Peter. . . so we'll see where that takes me.
Great post.
Thanks for this, KM! What a beautiful and needed reminder!
This summer, I've read Daniel, Ephesians, and working on Psalms. Not sure what's next... listening for direction.
Write on, sister/friend! Be encouraged!
