My soul pursues You; Your right hand upholds me. Psalms 63:8 NET
Our strength of resolve is not part of the formula of retaining God’s good will. We cling to Him, to be sure. But our journey should be the perseverance of the heart of Christ.
A verse such as John 6:37 reassures us that this is not only a matter of divine decree but divine desire. This is heaven’s delight. Come to me, says Christ. I will embrace you into my deepest being and never let you go.
Just as we can hardly fathom the divine ferocity God has for those still outside of Christ, it is equally true that we can hardly fathom the divine tenderness already resting now on those who walk with Christ.
The guilt and shame of those in Christ is forever outstripped by His abounding grace. When we feel as if our thoughts, words, and deeds are diminishing God’s grace toward us, those sins and failures are in fact causing grace to surge forward all the more.
