We rented a DVD by Ken Davis and watched it. It was called Good News. I really liked what he said. He said we all have something wrong with us and that is sin. We have all messed up, but the good news is that God loves us anyway.
This is comforting to me as I go through the study on "Respectable Sins" with the ladies at church. I have messed up big time, but God still loves me anyway.
Isn't that the way it is with our kids too? They rebel against us and go against our wishes for them, yet we still love them anyway. It's not to say we just ignore their wrong-doing. We discipline when they do wrong and God disciplines us when we do wrong...sometimes He patiently waits for us to come to our senses on our own....but He loves us all the same. What comfort to know this when I mess up and feel so terrible about it. All I need to do is repent and confess my sin to Him and He will remember it no more. Now that is grace. And that is Good News!
