It is impossible to let God love you and remain the way you are. Let down your defenses for just a moment, crack your life open just the tiniest bit, and there He is. God at His best, His love embracing us despite all our faults and failures, despite all our wickedness and wandering. See things as they really are: Humanity at its worst. God at His best dressed in the garments of human flesh, bleeding and dying, courting our love.
“It’s a wonder God didn’t lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ.”
— Ephesians 2:4-5 (MSG)
Father God, thank you for loving me just the way I am and thank you for loving me too much to leave me this way. Amen.
