Pursue

I want to start this blog with a confession. I confess that Jesus is the Savior of the world and He is my LORD.

I John 4
¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. ¹⁵ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. ¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

Anything that Jesus has ever said exposes the human heart. He knows our deepest thoughts, our needs and wants. He knows that human heart is evil. There is no one that is righteous-- not one. When God sent His Son, He knew that we would betray Him, even after showing His greatest act of love--dying on the cross for our sins.

It breaks my heart to see that God continues to pursue us even when we continue to reject Him. I think it's because Jesus is the truth and we can't handle it. Jesus has the ability to show us that we are total crap but somehow He does it with grace. Only He can do that because He is God and He lived a perfect life on earth.

Amazing.

He continues to show us His goodness and faithfulness everyday in spite of who we are. Take a second to reflect and thank God for His goodness.

Thank You Lord Jesus for Your mercy and grace!
