(We're Not) Half as Bad as God is Good

     Do you really think you can mess up My plan?

     I was asked this around 4:55 the other morning.  Honestly, I'm intensely afraid that I can.  I worry that I may wait too long and miss the chances I've been given.  I fear that sin in my life will ruin what God has planned to do with me.

     I must say that sin really is bad.  We can choose to let it lead us away from where God wants us to be, to go.  Not that sinning is ever a good thing, but God is so great that He can use even the worst things for His glory.  Godly sorrow works repentance to salvation without regret.

     I was thinking about nights and days.  If I only knew one, how would I describe it?  Would I describe it? If all I ever knew was rain and never sunlight, I think I'd hardly even recognize it.  Whenever I go a time without food, I immediately become grateful once I eat.  But when I don't go without food, I hardly think about being thankful for food.  Doing without makes me more aware of the gifts I've been given.  It shouldn't be a necessity for me to remember God, but the wrong things I've done have helped show me how much greater He is.
Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.

     Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.  That's what I'd like to hold on to.  No Dad, I can't mess up your plan.  You have begun a good work in me.  You're at least a million times better than I am.  Thank you for having a plan so perfect for me.  Some great news?  I'm not the only person God loves enough to begin a good work in.  He actually likes, even loves, everyone.  : )

     Hey love.  Will worrying add to your height?  I provide for nature, won't I care for you?  Yes, I will.  Don't be afraid, Danny.

I hope that there's such hope for me
