I'm struck by the idea that the Lord Jesus Christ took me in, loved me, saved me and gave Himself for me even though I was devoid of the love, worship and reverence He deserves when I called out to Him in my life brokenness. His mercy is revealed to me in that my calling out to Him was enough to demonstrate what little faith I had and He in turn acted on it..... without faith, it is impossible to please Him...

Then, after assuring me of His immovable devotion to me and my value in His kingdom, He started to work on my unbelief, doubt and sin in my life. Thus revealing my unbelief, doubt and sin to me... often, I would spiral into doubt and unbelief as He worked on my issues despite me...

All this revealed to me what I really was and am, and further revealed to me the grace and love of God demonstrated to me in that He took me in when I was in such a state.

Wow on that ! From faith, to doubt to faith again... It's a wonderful life ! And a wonderful Lord !
