So I sat down and wrote up a little post Friday and right before I was going to post it ended up deleting it. I know; people with more tech experience then I would have been able to resurrect it. But not I. And so I am left debating trying to retype what I wrote up before or deciding to move on to something different. Aren't you just at the edge of your seat listening to my internal monologue? Let's move on and say that it was not the time to post that thought. Life keeps moving forward. Right now I am trying to figure out my schedule for next semester and working to finish up the papers and projects of this semester.
Through all this I am constantly amazed at how God continually works in my life. He's convicted me of sin and reminded me of his love and grace. He is pursuing me and he won't stop. But that's not just true of me. He's pursuing everyone. I think I forget both of these. I forget that he is passionate in pursuing me and so do not realize that he is passionate about pursuing others.
I forget that he wants to extend grace to me and so forget that he's just as eager to extend grace to others. I especially forget this about those who do not believe the truth of the gospel. I forget that God has created me for an intimate love relationship with him as he has created everyone for an intimate love relationship with him.
I've realized that in order to share these truths I must truly believe them. If I expect others to be drawn to God's grace and truth, I must be drawn to them. If I expect other's to experience God's grace, I must not hammer myself with guilt or shame but humble myself and accept what God so freely offers to all.
Check out David Crowder Band's song "How He Loves" for a wonderful reminder.
