Despite my Disobedience



You know, I was just thinking as I woke up today...

Isn't it absolutely amazing that even though I am the only thing keeping myself from my God, He works in such huge ways despite my disobedience?

Oh and that's not to say that I would have any way of actually preventing God from doing anything. Heavens no!

I'm not that ignorant or prideful to believe the lie that I am somehow big enough to affect my God. No, it is by His choice alone that He grants mercy and grace. I do not deserve it.

But from this sinner to another, it sure blows my socks off that our God still chooses to shine through our cloudiness. It astounds me to think of all that God has accomplished in me despite my kicking and tantruming. What a God of patience! What a God!

For those questioning Him, may your heart be stirred to life service despite doubt.

For those weary, may you seek for surely then you will find your rest in such a loving God.

For those struck with impatience, may your find True Life worth the wait.

It's amazing to meditate on just how much our Lord can do... through an open and willing heart.

Lord, I pray... may You find me willingly open to You today.
