Pursued by Grace

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Thank you Lord for pursuing me my entire life.
Thank you for pursuing me as a small child and teaching me to pray.
Thank you for pursuing me as a high school student and placing Young Life leaders in my life to love me and disciple to me.
Thank you for pursuing me when my heart was broken and I was mourning the loss of my Dad. Thank you for picking up the pieces. Thank you that you are close to the brokenhearted and save the crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
Thank you for pursuing me when I was struggling between choosing popularity and drinking or my relationship with you.
Thank you for pursuing me each and every time you sent me to serve a month at a Young Life camp, serving you and growing more and more each day.
Thank you for pursuing me in the darkness and pushing me to be a Young Life leader.
Thank your Lord for pursuing my friends at PH each and every day of their lives, for the ones who know you or even if they aren't ready for you or think it's simply "too hard" or "inconvenient" to follow you. Thanks for letting me walk beside them.  

Thank you Lord for pursuing me and giving me the gift of grace, that when I am weak you are strong.
