Lord, we thank You that You have a place in Your heart for us. Why? What
have we done that You should keep on loving us? Is there something good
about us – something that makes us worthy of Your love? Whatever way we
look at it – the answer’s always “No.” No! No! No!
There’s no
way back to You, Lord, that begins with ourselves. We cannot begin with
ourselves – but “Is there another starting-point?”
Lord, there is
only one place. We begin with Your love – “God so loved the world that
He gave His only Son … “ (John 3:16). We hear these words, and we ask,
“Why, Lord, have You loved us like this?”
From our side, there’s
no answer to this question. We can only say, “We’re sinners.” There’s
nothing else we can say about ourselves.
What do You, Lord, say
to sinners? “God shows His own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
