Passionate In Paris

I’m the daughter of a sewer and a book-worm, and the sister of the most compassionate boy in the world. I live in New Zealand but I left my heart in Paris, on the steps of the shining Sacré-Coeur. Some of the people I love wear silver bow rings and have tight curls and give fashion advice and rave to rap music and read their Bible and twirl their ponytail and teach me French slang and decorate with feathers and share soft hugs and squeeze my hand tight as the aeroplane takes off. If I love you that will involve bouncing and driving fast and cute texts and long conversations and star-gazing and second-hand book stores and pink wool and Frank Sinatra songs and tears and bottles of champagne and Oscar Wilde quotations and, above all, tender hugs and passionate prayers.

  One of my favorite things to do is right before I go to bed, I confess and repent of all my sins I did that day. Then I ask the Holy Spirit to reveal sins I didn’t even realized I committed and repent of those. By the time I’m done I kinda feel overwhelmed with all the mess I’ve made. Then my heart and mind begins to be renewed by the Father, and I realize that I’m covered in His grace! And by the next day when I wake up, not only are my sins forgotten, but His mercy is new for me. It’s comforting to see your sins and then see your Savior. It’s such a wonderful feeling to end the day; resting in the new mercy of a good Father. I recommend laying down in bed and talk to God about your struggles. He’s your Dad. He wants to take care of you. And it’s not like He can’t see you in your sins. Talk to Him. You’ll start to realize that He is merciful and wants what’s best for you. Repentance shouldn’t be a scary thing, but a freeing hug from your gracious Father. He loves you, no matter what.
