"For I know my transgressions and my sin is always before me. Against you, and you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight." Psalm 51:3,4
The blessed mystery of letting God be God is this: When we find contentment in knowing it is God's nature to show mercy we begin to recognize our unworthiness in light of His constant grace. Miraculously, we're less inclined to be angry, frustrated or disappointed with God because we have no leverage. We become motivated by a desire to "clear the record" and kneel before Him daily.
It doesn't mean we don't want God to intervene graciously in our lives. It means what we want most is to rest safely in His mercy, trusting that a love so strong and faithful is best evidenced in the midst of the storm rather than in deliverance from the storm. When this begins to happen we notice our experience with God is no longer contractual but...has become relational, personal, satisfying.
Remember...He's not like us!
Live boldly out there today...
