My family and friends, and even acquaintances have shown me what the Lord's provision is. I have really been struggling with God's character (as I have written before). Is He really good? When is He going to give up on me, letting me become totally captive to my sin?
The truth is He is good. I asked Him to show me in small ways that I can actually grasp, like small bites from a large sandwich, who He is. I'm realizing that I partially am afraid to get to know Him because of how great the disparity is between His character and mine. The more I get to know Him the deeper I see my sin. I want to continue believing the lie that I am somewhat good, that I can handle this life, and that Jesus is not a necessity for me reaching perfection. The truth is that these are lies. I cannot fix the problem of sin in my life. I cannot redeem myself. I must repent and turn, in gratitude, to the Savior who gave me His cloak of righteousness. The One who died so that the Father could turn His face from His only Son, to look upon me with love.
I Am Redeemed
