James.

I read the book of James today after seeing Ludi post a verse on her tumblr. I am amazed by how obedient James was to God. He was so wise and his letter was exactly what I needed to read today. I think that God works in ways that we can't comprehend. I feel that this book is exactly how I have been thinking for last couple of weeks. Faith and patience are the two things that I've been working on spiritually. I am trying my best but I know that I am not higher or better than anybody else on this Earth. Only He is greater. Therefore, I feel led to serve those who need God. Those who need love. My heart breaks for the poor because I have been blessed with everything and I think that my purpose here on this Earth is to spread God's love and love people. I was reassured by this book. I am ready.
To be honest, It has been pretty rocky these last few days just because of circumstances and situations. I tend to make excuses that will lead me further away from God and it's really difficult to get back. I am so thankful that God led me to this book and that I am now ready to get back in reading.
Praise Jesus for your sweet, sweet mercy.
Amen.
