humble yourself :]

hey y`all.
so today was an amazing day. first of all, i got into 2nd period and read pastor chads blog, and that just blew me away. and i made a 97 on my science test and then i went to church tonight and learned abou Jesus and had a great time with friends & talked to mr allen for awhile. it was just one of those days :]] God is really working in my life. its amazing what hes doing for me when i've turned my life over to him. i LOVE you Jesus. anyway, onto my devotion from last night. i read in James. James 4:6-10 which says "But he giveth more grace wherefor he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Sumbit yourselves therefore to God resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lodr and He shall life you up." soo the fact is, God would rather you be humble than proud, humble yourself and live for God rather than be proud and live for yourself! it also says if we submit ourselves to God and resist the devil, that he will flee from us. we can ride ourselves of the devil if we look to God for guidance. we also need to repent for our sins. it says that if we humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord that he will lift us up! we have got to realize that we cannot do anything on our own, we need Gods help, to get out of troubles and to rid us of our sorrows and--to face our giants, like the movie. i finally realized i couldnt do it alone, and now things are so much better. the fact is, we can accomplish anything through God. i turned my troubles with that drama situation i had recently over to God, and he totally answered my prayers, no more drama & me & that person are getting along amazingly :]. today was just one of those God-blessed days. and i thank him for it :] oh and mr allen, i liked the song you showed me & i think it'd be cool if crystal sang it. i love all you people at new hope, y`all are amazing.
ill talk to y`all later
God Bless!
