For awhile now I haven't worked on my relationship with God much. It was an area of my life I was and am occasionally ashamed of. Don't get me wrong I have never been ashamed of God, I have been ashamed of myself, for not spending more time with God. I have only recently realized that there are always going to be area's of my life that I am ashamed of, but that they should all include God somehow. That only through Him do I have any hope at all. My hope is in the Lord.
Lately I have been talking a lot with a friend at work about Christianity. This friend has encouraged me to delve into my Bible, and I have been reading it a lot more lately. I'm not really sure if its the circumstances or having a Christian friend, I guess it doesn't matter, as long as I'm doing it. Well I was reading through recently and I found a passage that means a lot to me, and I wanted to share it. Its Romans 5:20-21;
1 The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 2 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through reghteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I was brought to that passage through my studies, those ones stood out to me, but that whole chapter of Romans is worth a gander. I hope you all have a great sunday, thanks for reading.
