Quote:
How wonderful that Christ's love for me is so real, based on the fact
that he knows the worst about me. No discovery can disillusion
Him about me, the way I am so often disillusioned about myself,
and quench His determination to bless me. It is humbling to know
that He sees all the twisted things about me that others do not see
(and I am glad!), and that He sees more corruption in me than I see
in myself (which, in all conscience, is enough). There is, however,
equally great incentive to worship and love God knowing, for some
unfathomable reason, He wants me as His friend, and desires to
be my friend, and has given His Son to die for me in order to realize
this purpose. ~ James I (J. I.) Packer {adapted}
Song of Solomon 2:4
He brought me to the banqueting house,
and his banner over me was love.
Prayer:
My Lord,
You know everything about me: my twisted thoughts, my unreasonable
actions, my corruption and my failures. Yet, You choose to love me. You
continue to reach out to me. Today, I will reach back and grab on to Your
hand. Amen.
