"If you're going to receive help from the Lord of the second chance, you too will have to acknowlege your condition."John Ortberg - Love beyond Reason
Pretense. Masks. We're all afraid. Afraid to be real. Afraid to stand up and say this is who I really am. I'm worthy not because there's much of me that's worthy, if anything at all, but because Jesus is worthy and he's pursued me, captured me and wrapped me in his arms. But before you can go further, you have to acknowlege the pretense, the masks, the lies, all those things that make us think of ourselves more highly than we should. There but for the grace of God go I! And oh, what sweet and wonderful grace! Grace that has separated me from my sin. Grace to face all that comes my way today. And Finally, Grace for all my tomorrows. No need to worry. No need to be anxious. He is all I need!
Pursued! Captured! Safe in His arms!
