I really love the message in today's AMI devo.
It's amazing: such an almighty God cares about me. He is MY God, MY provider, and MY advocate. Me of all people! When I let that truth sink in, my heart becomes really full of disbelief and thanksgiving.
'Disbelief' because I know that I am undeserving of such high regard from Him. Given what He has done for me on the cross, He clearly values me deeply; however, I know how much of a sinner I am. Also, He is completely blameless while I am far from it still. Logically, it doesn't make sense at all. It's a good thing that our God is greater than logic; He was the first example of showing the counter-cultural love that He calls us to show the world.
'Thanksgiving because I know that I need Him. Without Him, I am nothing (John 15:5). My identity would / should be my dirtiness from sin, but He allows me to experience a cleansing salvation and redemption. I can barely imagine a life bereft of His saving grace; it really would not be a life at all (Romans 6:23). Fortunately, I don't have to.
