Devotional Monday: Repentance


This months theme here on the Quiet Place is repentance. When I thought about this months theme I found the verse above and was reminded that our sins are continually swept clean each and every day.  In this I find comfort, in the days where I feel like don't get enough done, or I am just worn out I am reminded of his grace in my life.

When I think of repentance in my life I am reminded of all of the times that I have said "why" to God in whatever season I am in. Weather it be a season of waiting, or a season of struggle. It's always a reminder to see beauty in the struggle and the fact that no matter what God always gives me a clean slate.  Especially in those times when I wonder why I am still in this season of singleness, I stop and remember that there is beauty and purpose in this season that I'm in. There's also repentance,  and I am reminded that His mercies are new each morning, despite what I may be feeling.

So sisters, every time we run from him or mess up, God is right there to pick us up off of the ground and wipe us clean. So rest in the truth that is so intricately woven through Isaiah 44:2 which serves as a reminder of his grace in each and every one of our lives.

Where do you find repentance in your life?

    I agree! It's important to remember that there is a purpose to every season and we can always find beauty in it along the way :)

    So good. I defiantly find it in times where I feel I've started to put trust and control in myself rather than the Lord. It is then when I remember to repent and find the love of the lord all over again

    That is so true! I love what you said about repenting and then finding the love of The Lord all over again. I think sometimes we forget that he still loves us even when we repent for something. His love is constant, it never changes :)

    I swear that everyone who writes the blog posts here is a mind reader.
    I JUST posted about the "why, God?" thing, and how I hope to use gratitude to combat that.
    I definitely need to focus on repentance as well.

    I love when that happens, God definetly speaks to us through in the most interesting ways :)
    That's so true, when we have gratitude for where we are at, we learn to be content where we are at and we rest in knowing that God always meets us right where we are at.

She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
