Prodigal: This is beautiful what God made!

Me: Yes, it is and that reminds me of something else.

This is from the book In the Grip of Grace by Max Lucado

Ponder the achievement of God.

He doesn’t condone our sin, nor does he compromise his standard.

He doesn’t ignore our rebellion, nor does he relax his demands.

Rather than dismiss our sin, he assumes our sin and, incredibly, sentences himself.

God’s holiness is honored. Our sin is punished….

and we are redeemed.

God does what we cannot do so we can be what we dare not

dream: perfect before God.

Luke 11:1

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he finished, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.
