I can't tell you how many times I've wondered
"What is it about me that God thought was worth saving?"
He just revealed this to me:
It's not that I have anything to offer that I was worth saving,
It's not that I'm so special that He just couldn't let me go,
It's that He is worthy of praise from a helpless soul that's been rescued.
He alone deserves the glory, all the glory.
Here for a while I thought that I must really be something special.
Ha!
No, We're no good until He's drenched us in His mercy.
Which makes me tremendously glad that He is merciful;
I mean, He owns everything anyway, He doesn't have to have compassion on us.
But He does!
And if that's not reason enough for you and I to give Him a big ol' "thank you!",
I don't know what is.

Eye opening, isn't it? Makes Him pretty special and important in our lives.
ReplyDeleteHe's been convicting me of the same thing recently. It's kind of a relief to know that we don't have to continually be worthy to be given His love, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI know I've said this before, but your blog posts are awesome! You always make me think. :)
