How many times have you tried and failed?
How many times have you looked in the mirror and not liked what you see?
How often do you wish you could rewind and redo?
How often do you find yourself needing to apologize?
We are messed up, imperfect, lost people.
We try and fail.
And try and fail.
And try and fail.
Any person in their right mind would give up.
And give up on me.
Thank goodness God doesn't evaluate me with a right mind.
He loves me with a perfect mind.
And He extends to me (and you!) an indescribable gift:
Grace I don't deserve.
Grace I don't understand.
Grace that covers it all.
An act of sacrifice,
A miracle beyond reason,
the promise of a glorious, everlasting life.
Christ the Lord is risen today!
Embrace the gift.
Freely offered to you.
Know that His grace is enough.
Amen!! So well put! His grace is more than enough praise Jesus for that!! I can't imagine if my wrongs were held agasinst me. I'd be in big trouble but, he sees past that and loves me as I am and walks me through life in and out of season. Great stuff and Happy Easter to you!
ReplyDeletePerfect message for today. If we all try and fail, why do we beat ourselves up so badly? Grace is ours.
