All will sing out, "Hallelujah!"
Nothing can compare to moments in which I am confronted with the brevity of my sin. Conviction is the bitter and beautiful hug of our Father through His Spirit that softly says, "What are you doing, child? Do you remember Me?" Though it is not in anger. Why? Why, when we disobey and slander Him, why does He show up with love? I will never understand. I will never deserve it. I can never earn it. So if I'm given a gift, for which I did nothing, for which I can not repay, what do I do? Take it? How simple! That can't be it, it's far too simple. As horrid as I am and have been and will be, there must be something that I am supposed to do in return for unfathomable grace that supersedes any other.
No, there's nothing. You take it. You take it, and you hold on to Him will all Your heart, with all You have. There's nobody else who could possibly love You as He does. His gift is Himself. His intensely sacrificial love that we will never understand or earn, but He pleads for us to take it. My heart aches will gratitude and confusion. We all sin, but He wants to know us and have relationship with us anyway.
Do you know how much He wants to know you?
