Ice Cream and Righteousness

I had a bad day today.  Yep...it was bad.  Nuff' said.

We had our FIRST CONNECT GROUP MEETING tonight, whooo hooo!!!!!!!!!!!  Yay, I got to hang out with Sierra, Julia, and Rachel (senior year, you go girl!).  During the meeting, I was listening and writing in the handout booklet, but all the while thinking of my very bad day.  I was excited to be diving into God's word with my connect group, yet was rather depressed.  Then, Mr. Ennis said something that hit me.  Not like a slight realization, but a WHOA THAT IS INSANE realization.  This is what he said.

"On our worst day, God sees us with the blameless righteousness of his Son."  

On our worst day!  Is that crazy or what?  Even when we have sinned many times and go to God with a regretful prayer that goes something like "Stop loving me God, its not worth it".....he sees us as having no faults whatsoever!  God views us as righteous because Jesus took the full brunt of our ugly sin upon himself.  EPIC LOVE.

And then...we ate ice cream.  :D  :D  :D
