I am thankful for the ways Christ continues to change me, mold me, and make me more like Himself. He extends His grace daily. That's amazing. After looking at the above truths and thinking about the ways I've changed since choosing to follow Jesus, my heart was filled with thankfulness. Every day I feel He reveals more to me about the depth of His love. He loves me too much for me to stay stagnant, and I am praising Him for that!
