I looked this word up today. Other than meaning a person being proven guilt it means to impress with a sense of guilt. The idea of convictions in our church body has been a hot topic for a while now. But it's been an undercurrent not necessarily talked about from the pulpit. What I feel as though God has impressed on me, they don't change. Why am I talking about this? I have no idea. I just know that right now I feel God heavy on my life and my heart. I want to please Him. I want to do what He wants me to. I pray for Him to be please when He looks at my insides and my outs. If I make it through this vapor of a life and have used the majority of my life leaving God with a smile on His face I will rejoice.
Convictions...mine are mine. Some may scoff but if He is smiling that is all I care about. Let them.
God, I love you. I want to be your servant and please you my King.
Give me a servants heart. An obedient displacement. A humble posture. Ever thankful for using a wretch like me, Amber Wehrle

I read this passage today and found it hit the mark:
II Corinthians 5:19-20
“that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.”
And then (I have a bad habit of this) I looked up the word reconcile in the dictionary. It said:
rec⋅on⋅cile
/ˈrɛkənˌsaɪl/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [rek-uhn-sahyl] Show IPA verb, -ciled, -cil⋅ing.
