This past week has been very good. It is not a secret that my last month and a half here has been rough emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically. However, God has brought some really exceptional people into my life who have been speaking God's truth into my life and have been helping me through some personal issues. I have also been diving more into God's Word, studying about relationships, and learning what it means to be thankful. God is good.

I am at this point now where the fog that was covering my eyes for many years is now gone and I am starting to see things with a clearer perspective. Having your heart and mind transformed by God is not an easy process, it can even be a painful process, but it is also a beautiful process.  God's grace is truly amazing, and the peace that we have in Him is so incredibly wonderful.

 "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation."-Romans 5:1-11
