How Is It Possible?

How can anyone possibly out-sin the grace of God? God has been in the forgiveness business from the very beginning. That's thousands of years of human history. What would compel God to toss that all aside just because you had a fit of anger, or a lustful thought, or a couple of drinks too many? Are you arrogant enough to believe that you have that much of an effect on the Creator of the universe? What makes you think you can get God so steaming mad that He'll unleash His unencumbered wrath on you?

You are but a breath, a wisp of the paintbrush on the large canvas of time. You are a mere phantom as you walk to and fro. You are like the grass that withers and the flower that falls. The Word of the Lord endures forever! This isn't about insignificance. It's about perspective. You are not God, nor are you as big as God. You are not present everywhere. You don't know everything that can be known. You can't raise up mountains or carve out valleys.

Yet, God knows you. What are you that God is mindful of you? Everything you try to hide is laid bare before His eyes. Everything! You have God's attention, but not because you asked for it or because you're a distracting type of person. That's just the way God is. It has absolutely nothing to do with you (are you getting tired of me saying that?). This point cannot be stressed enough.
