Be whole-hearted for Him!

"Listen, son. Half-hearted christians are the most miserable of all. They know enough to feel guilty, but they haven't gone far enough in Christ to be happy. Be whole-hearted for Him."

- Ray Ortlund Sr.


This quote really hit me because this has been so true in my life. Honestly I felt a bit ashamed to even write anything on this journal due to the title I had given: "finding extraordinary in the ordinary." Recently rather than being able to see God's grace in the ordinary things of life, I have been blinded to see even the big blessings in my life, had only been filling myself with ingratitude. And sadly, I can't say with confidence that I am all grateful now, that my heart has been fully renewed to start seeing these amazing touches of God in me and in the world around me. I need to be whole-hearted for Him.
