Pure Forgiveness!!

Yesterday we finished the pure course which has been really good. Yesterdays topic was the of pure forgiveness. It is really reasurring to think that when Jesus died on the cross for us, every sin of ours went with him. Jesus - the ultimate sacrifice so we could be made right before God. Kath read us a verse from the song 'Before the Throne of God Above' all the verses of this song are a great reminder of Gods amazing love for us and how we can come to Him despite all the times we go against Him. So here are the lyrics:-

Before the throne of God above,

I have a strong, a perfect plea,

A great High Priest whose name is "Love,"

Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on His hands,

My name is writen on His heart;

I know that while in heav'n He stands

no tongue can bid me thence depart.

No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,

and tells me of the guilt within,

upward I look and see Him there

Who made an end to all my sin.

Because the sinless Savior died,

my sinful soul is counted free;

For God, the Just, is satisfied

to look on him and pardon me.

to look on him and pardon me.

Behold him there! the risen Lamb,

my perfect, spotless Righteousness,

the great unchangeable I AM,

the King of glory and of grace!

One with Himself I cannot die,

My soul is purchased by His blood;

My life is hid with Christ on high,

with Christ, my Savior and my God

with Christ, my Savior and my God.

I do love this song. I also really ought to be revising so i shall leave the blogging there for the time being!!!

Aah, Sundays, how i love them!!!

Sundays are my favourite day of the week, the Lords day, a day of rest. The only downfall to sunday is that it is swiftly followed by Monday.

However, in this modern era it is very easy to have lots to do on sunday, whether it is study, a job or just general chores, there is always something that needs doing.

I spent much of today stressing about the lack of revision i have done in preperation for this weeks exams, this made it difficult for me to appreciate my day. I was also going to miss evening church to do some more work. I am so pleased i didn't!!!! Although revision is important and needs doing, i feel church was the better option. I was filled with a real sense of peace. Tomorrow may be a different story as the pressure of revision mounts.

I pray that all you guys that have a mountain of work to do and are under much pressure that God will fill you with a sense of peace, that he will help you and be with you.

God is awesome!!!

God Bless

How Great is our God!!!!

God is awesome!!!

As the ever dreaded exams draw closer and my motivation to do anything that is remotly considered work disintergrates, it is good to pray to God. Actually it is aways good to pray to God, especially though in times when it is so easy to concentrate on other stuff and neglect God - we all do it, after all we are only human!!

He will help us, which i find very comforting, although i do realise i need to put in some effort too. Philippians 4:13 tells us, 'i can do everything through him who gives me strength' - woop woop!!! God strengthens us - yey!!

God loves us, which in itself is amazing, and wants us to fully rely on him. The very middle verse of the Bible - Psalm 118:8, 'It is better to take refuge in the LORD than trust in man'. Lift everything up to God, who cares so much about us!!! yey God Rocks

1st post and the importance of friends!!

well, there we go, that was easy. i now have a blog!!

As my first year of uni draws to end in a few weeks time it has reminded me of the importance of friends. God has blessed me so much this year with the friends He has provided me and i am very thankful. It is sad to think about how many of my friends will be leaving uni this year but i pray God will guide them in everything they do and they will be happy wherever they may be.

So guys, i hope you are all happy in what you do and remeber to 'live for Jesus and speak for Jesus' hehe thought i'd get that quote in!!! don't forget to stay in touch when you all go your seperate ways!!!!!

I shall leave it there for now!!!!!!!!
