There's so much trash in my life, I'm glad God dealt with a lot of that today.
Lust, sin, shame, greed, ambition... I surrendered these at His feet today.
How many times have I traded my birthright for a bowl of beans!

NO! No more trading. He is jealous for me. He - Jesus - alone, deserves my whole heart's desire. I will claim back what is mine. I will be a master over my own desires and inclinations. I will reign and rule, exercise dominion over the realm that He has bestowed to me. I am a child of the Most High. I'm thankful that His mercies are new everyday, so that I won't be judged like Esau. I'm thankful for forgiveness and His grace that enables me to turn around without having to carry past baggage. I am a new creation. He told me today that He longs to lavish on me, not the material and fleshly things of the world, but on eternal things of heaven! Oh, how He loves us so!
