fully perfect

When I struggle, I am so thankful that I have a God that can say "It's okay Hannah, so have I". I often forget that I have a God who is approachable and can relate to me.  God put on flesh and came into this world through Jesus.  One of my favorite characteristics about Jesus was that he was fully God and fully human.  Jesus was tempted by Satan, yet remained in His Father. Jesus went through this temptation so he could understand what we go through and show compassion and grace upon us.  One of my favorite things about this story, is how Jesus fought back satan....with scripture. 

Jesus was broken by the death of his dear friend Lazarus and "Jesus wept"|John 11:35|.  Fully God yet fully human. The lose a friend was heartbreaking, yet Jesus took this time and created something beautiful by leading those gathered and lost to Him.  

Nothing I say and nothing I do is to big for Him.  How amazing is it that we have a God who is approachable.  Sovereign yet compassionate. Holy yet my friend.  

I follow a Jesus who is fully perfect.  A man, who came into this earth as a baby.  Lived a life that was pleasing and perfect to His Fathers will and died to set me free.  

Lord help me to fight satan with Your word.  Help me to run to you in my time of need, my time of pain and my time of joy, for nothing is more powerful and pleasing in my life than Your presence.

Fully God. Fully Human. Fully Perfect.  

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to emphasize with our weakness, but we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are- yet he did not sin.  Let us this approach God's throne with confidence so that we have receive mercy and find grace in our time of need."

 [Hebrews 4:15-16]
