Today's
scripture: Psalm 11:7
Our God is perfect. Holy. Righteous.
He is sinless ... and we are sinful. We are flawed and frail and fickle. To think we can be in relationship with God is amazing ...
How can He look at our filth? How can He possibly love us?
Because not only is He righteous and holy, He is love.
He looks upon us—in all our willfulness, sinfulness, and rebellion—and He sees His dearly-loved children. Through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ, all those stains of our sins are wiped away.
Because of Jesus Christ's sacrifice, righteous God sees us as righteous.
It's astounding. Just astounding.
And when I think the God loves the righteousness in me, I want to honor that. I want to live to bring Him glory; I want to do what is right. I want to be like my Savior.
I want to please my righteous, loving God.
