TRUST GOD to Handle YOUR SIN

“Grace teaches us to trust that God can handle our sin, and only God. Our thoughts begin to run like this: I can’t handle my sin. I can’t save myself. I can’t change myself. Thank you, God, for already making me godly, so you could stand with me, ready to address my sin out there in front of us. Lord, thank you there is no pile of sin and junk between us. If there were, I wouldn’t stand a chance of intimacy with you. I know I can’t survive away from you. Once, I thought that this particular sin would fulfill and satisfy me. But, Father, as we look at it together, I am learning to trust your assessment of what will satisfy me. So, what do you want us to do about this sin? I am not going to try to manage it or throw it to the ground. I trust you for the next step.”
