Tonight something Beth Moore shared once comes to mind tonight. As I recall, she was talking about how she interacts with criticism she receives in her ministry. That when she receives a critical letter, she thinks something like “That’s just the beginning. I could tell you so many other of my weaknesses and what is wrong with me.”
Tonight the same thought strikes me about my life. I could write a book about my weakness and sinfulness and all the reasons God can’t use me to do anything. If you want to add a chapter, go right ahead. I am going to walk forward fully protected and covered by God’s grace. His grace is what empowers me to live a life of life instead of a life filled with death like I was prior to knowing Jesus Christ. I was reminded that the human heart is desperately wicked before God gives a person a knew heart when they believe in Christ. My heart was definitely desperately wicked without Him. My flesh, when I let it win, yikes!!! But God is bigger than all that and I am so grateful. Throw the stones. My God will catch every one, and they will fall to the ground harmless.
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died, more than that – who was raised to life – is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Romans 8
