Quote:
Only when we turn away from looking at our sin to look at the face of
God, do we begin to repent. Only by seeing that there is grace and
forgiveness with him would we ever dare to repent and thus return to
the fellowship and presence of the Father. Only when grace appears
on the horizon offering forgiveness will the sunshine of the love of God
melt our hearts and draw us back to him. ~ Sinclair Ferguson
Romans 5:20-21
Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath
reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness
unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our LORD.
Prayer:
Dear Lord,
When I finally turned away from looking at my sin and instead looked
at You for the grace and forgiveness I needed, I finally understood. The
sunshine of Your Love has melted my heart and drawn me back to You. Amen.
