The
title of this post is intriguing to me, and I’m the writer. To think that God knows stuff about my life
and He loves what He knows? How can this
be?
Down
through history God has used some amazingly inept individuals.
~Mary
was an innocent fourteen-year-old. She
didn’t know “nothing about nothing”.
~David
was an adulterer and had a man killed because he wanted the man’s wife.
~Peter
denied ever knowing Jesus the night before the crucifixion.
Talk
about some inept individuals – these are fine role models I suppose.
And
another thing; God keeps no record of our wrongs. In Psalm 103:3 we read … God, if you kept a record of our sins, who could ever survive such
scrutiny?
And
later, Psalm 103:12: “As far as the east
is from the west, that is how far God has removed our transgressions from us.”
And
God knew all along all of our faults, weaknesses, sins, transgressions or
whatever it is you want to call them.
He
knows, and He still loves.
HE STILL LOVES!
I
think we have to agree that God uses the inept.
You see, no one is perfect. The
scriptures say “All have sinned and fall
short of God’s ideal standard.” (Romans
3:23)
I
love this idea: God sees our
possibilities and He loves the idea of what we might become. Can someone say “Amen”?
So,
for all of us who are nobodies, inept, weak, frail, and prone to failure, the
best news of all is this – God loves you too.
He
is not the God of the perfect.
He
is the God who redeems the lost and those in need of redemption.
Let’s
stand in that line together.
