What would our world look like if we examined ourselves? If everyone else was like me, we would be remorseful, discouraged people. The self-examination of our hearts leads us to a place of beautiful transformation. Not one person could unveil their secrets and feel they have reached perfection. Instead, the willingness to look at the heart authentically brings a raw chance for surrender. Vulnerability must be present for mercy to rush in and cover all our shame. And in this moment of naked disgrace, truer glory has never been known... the glorious forgiveness of our Lord and Savior!
Oh Father, with reckless, hopeless abandon, I come before you a hypocrite, a sinner. Wash me white, cover me with you blanket of grace. Make me beautiful once again.
Inspired from Isaiah 43.
