Im not typically one to get very deep on fb but ive been wrestling with some things today and feel led to share some of my thoughts. I just do not understand Gods Grace. As I become more and more aware, or at least become more honest with myself about exactly how depraved I am, how broken and truly sinful I am, the weight of His Grace becomes more and more incomprehensible. When I find myself with thoughts or words or actions that expose exactly how wicked my heart is and how selfish and immature I am when left to my own devices, it baffles me that God even chooses to know me, much less love me. As much as I hate those times when Im exposed, especially to myself, it is in those times that I can most clearly see the magnitude of His love. Im coming to the conclusion that my mind will never be able to truly grasp what His Grace is. It simply doesnt add up when viewed through my finite perspective. I cannot understand why he pursues me when I continually fail Him. I guess the secret is accepting the truth about who we are and learning to sit in that Grace without trying to understand it. And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. (Luke 15:20 ESV)
