Five Things I Dig About Jesus so I will make this

My Five Things I am Thankful and Dig about Jesus

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:16

1. I like the fact that God lets me give Him glory and praise, even through my sinful state.

2. I am thankful God stripes away things that make me deaf and blind, so I can see him more clearly. Also he does not let me rest where it is safe and sound, I praise God he pushes me to be who He has called me to be.

3. I am thankful His mercies are new every morning, because I usually use up all my mercy in one day =)

4. His words, love, compassion, justice, discipline, and tenderness is LIFE TO ME. He is the one thing I could not live without.

5. Brandon Heath’s song titled “Simple Man” sums it up perfectly for me:

“…take the rest of me, because you got the best of me. Anything good in me comes from you.

Tag you are it =)

    Groovy post, girlfriend!

    I especially liked your take on His mercies being new...I think I use mine up in an hour on some days...
  • Barb
    #3 smacked me between the eyes. I think I use up my mercy each day, too. I'm pretty sure I do as a matter of fact.

    Very clever the way you combined the meme with Thankful Thursday.

    :-)

    Beautiful. I love how you and Iris both combined the two memes. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
  • eph2810
    Okay, girl, that is kinda getting scary that we are thinking the same way. I love your reason 'why you dig Jesus'...
    Believe it or not, but I almost used His mercies as well, but thought that Him pursuing me was a 'bigger' for me personally :)

    Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us this week...(I am glad you are back)

    Be blessed today and always.
