In Spite of Me
The Lord works in spite of me and my struggles…I feel like I have been learning that a lot lately. What kind of God uses all my mess ups and mistakes for my good? What does that tell me about Him?
I think it tells me that He loves me. A lot! He takes my doubt, and turns it into a grace in my life. He takes my faithlessness, and turns it into opportunities to learn about His faithfulness. He takes my fears, and turns into a chance to learn about trust. Why am I so blessed that He would do this for me? The only answer is love. And the most pure example of this love is Jesus dying on the cross. As He hung on the tree, he knew I would doubt, be faithless and fearful. And yet, He chose to die for my sins anyway, because He loves me!
What a privilege to belong to a God that loves me so much!
