I borrowed a phrase from last Sunday's sermon at The Journey because it is perfectly said. Last night, I was listening to this song and it brought tears to my eyes though I have heard it many times...
I think we are sometimes so focused on our faith, on our sin, on our struggles, on our needs, on our response to God, that we fail to see things from God's perspective. It is true that God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours and there will always be an inability for a finite sinner to grasp the infinite holiness of God. But God shares His heart with us through His word. We get glimpses of His purity, power, goodness, justice, mercy and grace.
So, take what you know about God from the Bible and immerse yourself in how He must see you and think of you in order to do what He has done for you. When I do that, all the other stuff fades into the background and I am left with a perfect Father in heaven who came to rescue me at a cost to Himself that I can never comprehend.
He gave everything. He did everything. There is no price He did not pay. It is finished.
And this is the sermon I referenced earlier. It is one of the best sermons I have heard on who God is and what He has done for us.
