Feel stagnant, can't reach others? Psalm 51:12,13

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

  Psalm 51:12 "Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. (13) The I will teach your ways to rebels, and they will return to you."

Do you ever feel stagnant in your faith, as though you are just going through the motions?  Has sin ever driven a wedge between you and God?   God seems distant? 
     David felt this way.  He had sinned with Bathsheba and had just been confronted by Nathan the prophet.  In his prayer he cried, "Restore to me the joy of your salvation."
    God wants us to be close to Him and to experience His full and complete life.  But sin that remains unconfessed makes such intimacy impossible.  Confess your sin to God.  You may still have to face some earthly consequences, as David did, but God will give back the joy of your relationship with Him.

V. 13 When God forgives our sin and restores our fellowship with Him, we want to reach out to others who need this forgiveness and reconciliation.  The more you feel God's forgiveness, the more you will desire to tell others about it.  
      Where are you today?  Wishing to restore the joy of your salvation and share the good news with others?  Or, are you walking with and hanging on to your sins?  Take time, be silent, listen to God. Thank you for reading today.  May your salvation be renewed and the joy jumping from your lips. Love you all.
    In Christ's Love and Grace
