James 1: 25

The word 'forget' got me thinking in this passage. A lot of the time we sin because we are being ignorant of the fact that what we are about to do/doing is a sin, but some of the time we sin knowing full well that what we are doing is wrong in God's eyes.

I hate the feeling I get when I am doing something wrong and realize it, but continue what I'm doing. It's our conscience at its finest, and at that moment I know I'm not thankful for it. Sometimes I ungratefully wish it away, telling it to be quiet and to just let me be... to just let me take the easy way out.

Our conscience is a beautiful blessing though, all the time...

It's God's voice that is constantly with us, whispering in our hearts.

He's our daddy giving his precious daughter the absolute best advice we could ever ask for.

This also got me thinking about the gift in fathers that God gives us. I know that everyone doesn't always have a father that's actively in their daughter's life, but everyone most likely has that person in their life, that cares about them more than anything. I know that my dad would do anything for me. He is the sweetest, most caring person I know, and probably will ever know. Even when I don't ask for it, my dad always tells me anything that he thinks I will need to know someday. He loves helping me and wants the absolute best for me, and I trust him with my whole heart. This is the trust I need to have in our Savior.

Thinking about my dad makes me miss him since I'm up here at school, but it also gets me thinking about my Heavenly Father. I can't imagine someone having more love for me than my own dad, but that's how strong of a love God has for us. A love that is impossible to understand.

I know I kind of went in a different direction, but those were my thoughts for this verse :) Hope you all are doing well and enjoyed this gorgeous day!
