Struggling Well With Life

God is doing some new work in me, and I am unable to land the words to adequately articulate what is going on beneath the surface. I woke up Sunday morning greeted by the same old stuff that I have struggled with my whole life, and in even greater proportion than I have had for some time. And rather than the usual heaviness of guilt, and beating myself up for not measuring up, I prayed, and moved into my day leaving it in confession. This may sound like “the obvious”, but for me, this is a new work of God. 40 plus years of being a Christian, and I am still unpacking the simplicity of the Gospel. One line in worship has stuck with me over the last day “Apart from His great mercy, I would be forever lost”. So true. So thankful for a new understanding of an old sure truth.
