Mercy brought me to this place

I want to write of Joy unexplainable. I understand that phrase could be a bit awkward since I am trying to explain something that is in its purest form complex and simple which lends itself to unexplainable. For instance, I can’t explain why God in His ultimate goodness authored me into His story. I was freaking horrible and a destroyer of lives. Why He laid down authority and splendor and took on the form of a man and carried my shame to the cross I will never fully understand, but will continue to be grateful. I could give you some intense theological view that a few of my arrogant Calvinist, and Armenian brothers would debate over, but for the moment I will spare you… and myself. The truth is that you don’t care… the non-believing or even the fence sitting Christian does not care how much I know because the church has failed to show you how much we care. My plea is that if your unbelieving, if you’re the fence sitting Christians that gives the authentic Christian the bad name. If you have hardened your heart and refuse to trust the church or Christianity my aim is not to make you feel like crap and throw some guilt trip. I just want to remind you that there is a sovereign patient God who has given you an invitation to have life and have it to the full through the sinless life, gruesome death, and glorious resurrection of Jesus. You have been thought of and cared for before time. You were fearfully and wonderfully made. You are loved beyond measure. Know this, if you are reading this then “mercy has brought you to this place and grace will lead you home”. There is no life to shameful that it cannot find rest and forgiveness at the feet of Jesus. So would you… abandon pride and put on Christ. “Repent and be converted that your sins would be blotted out and times of refreshing can come in the presence of the lord”. I know you are tired of running so here is the invitation to stop, breath, and rest in Christ.

I love you much
