ok, so I know that most of you already know about this cause I shared it at homegroup, but I figured I would go ahead and put it on here anyways. So here goes...
This semester has been really hard for me. I've been distancing myself from God and basically didn't spend any time with Him for a while. I ran into some financial difficulties and really was having to stretch myself to pay rent and bills and whatever other expenses I had. Well, God is faithful even when we are not. When I checked my bank statement the other day it turns out that I had received a scholarship that I was not aware of that had recently been deposited into my account. I'm so thankful for this blessing, but even more so for God showing me that I can't earn his blessings. He blesses us because he wants to, not because of anything we do on our part to try and earn them. It's a really hard thing to grasp, but God continually shows us this in our lives. And I pray that we would fully realize it and begin to act it out in our lives.
