"You will call and I will answer You
You will long for the creature Your hands have made.
Surely You will county my steps
but not keep track of my sin.
My offenses will be sealed up in a bag
You will cover my sin."
Job 14:15-17
This is grace. It says, "I desire to have a shameless and yet scandalous love affair with you." Amazing, yet undignified. He who is pure, holy, and righteous comes down from heaven and lives and counts the steps of the filthy and unrighteous. Furthermore, He simply lives life, counting steps, and letting go of the shame of sin. My sin He keeps no account of. Yes this is marvelous, miraculous, and undignified grace.
May the heart of the soul never be hard to Truth. May the depths of the soul never long to dwell in the dark shadows, but rather to dance in the rays of the sunlight of Hope. And when the soul is beckoned by the Almighty, may it ever be so quick to run and answer.
"Arise and follow"
