Your innocent blood has washed my guilty life

Here's the thing. I suck. I'm human and I screw up a lot.

Here's the other thing. A much bigger thing than all my weaknesses combined:

Despite my constant missteps, attempts to run, bitterness, frustration, guilt, shame, worry, fear, and discontent, God still pursues me.

Here's the real thing:

He pursues me to the point that He sent His son, innocent and blameless, to die in my place. To suffer in my place. And He draws me to my knees despite all my brokenness at the foot of the cross and tells me to look up into the eyes of my Savior and be cleansed.

And He doesn't do this once; God does this for me over and over and over.

Grace upon grace upon grace!
