What will you have a sinner like me enter the riches of Your Kingdom for? Not because I am worthy or deserving… never. I am incapable of attaining salvation. My desires for the things of the world outweigh the truth, purity, and Holy nature of the Father. I am a thief. I am an adulteress. I am a murderer. Why have You redeemed me from myself?
You have identified me clean. You have called me pure. You have given me a new name and one no work can purchase. You have changed me. You have saved me from the depths of disparity and self-destruction. You roped me from the pit by the wood You died upon… that I might also raise up because death had no hold on You… proof by Your resurrection.
Thank you for setting me apart for Your renown, Your name’s sake, Your glory… that I may share in the joy brought by JC… that I may break the truth as bread for the hungry and share the unfathomable love that He has so drenched my soul in. And past the doubt, the damaged parts, the darkness, the deep abyss of such a dirty life as this… the King of eternity gets up from his seat, pulls a chair out for me inviting me to sit at His table so that I will live in such a way that exemplifies the goodness of His love and the life found in His grace.
May your life drowned itself to this abundant hope and may it overflow from the corners of your heart.
