Things I Don't Deserve

In 1 Peter 1:17-21 Paul talks about God and how he is our father he says if you need help ask God and he will Help you he also says God is a responsible father who doesn't want us to live sloppy lives.
This reminds me of my mom who always remind all of us that our rooms need to be neat and clean never leave them sloppy she says. I'm so glad i serve a God who can be called father because of his love and how much he cares! I also love that he wants the best out of us not just half effort. I pray that God would keep me motivated and help me to do my best in my life.
Later in the passage Paul talks about how life is a journey and how we must stay connected to God during our journey. enough said...I pray God would make my heart long for him and help me to constantly be thinking of him!
My favorite part of the passage is the very end when it says "It's because of the sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God." 1 Peter 1:21
I think is the most encouraging part how comforting is it to know that you can trust the father with everything because you know he has a plan for you!!! How marvelous!

I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And I wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.
Chorus:How marvelous, how wonderful
And my song shall ever be.
How marvelous, how wonderful
Is my Savior's love for me.
For me it was in the garden
He prayed,"Not my will, but thine"
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat drops of blood for mine.
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv'ry,
And suffered and died alone.
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
'Twill be my joy thro' the ages,
To sing of His love for me.
