What if I actually believed Jesus
when he said that my sins had been taken care of?
What if I stopped trying to save
myself and started believing him when he said it is finished?
I strive and seek and pray I'll turn
into a wonderful witness, a beautiful spirit. When really, I want to believe that when
Jesus said that all my sins had been washed clean, that maybe, they really were
taken care of. But can I believe that? Do I?
Perhaps all my trying is what is
keeping me from a deep relationship with Him. I thought it was my sin holding
me back, but what if it was me, trying to pay off my own sins?
How strange grace is.
Its much harder for me to love myself
than it is to just sit in the grace of his word. To strive is a easy
impossibility. To give myself grace is a grueling struggle. How ironic.
Oh, how very much work it is to sit
back and let God do the work.
