Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groaning. Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.
Psalm 5:1-3

We are chosen by God the Father. We are sanctified by the Spirit. We are cleansed and call to obedience by the Son.

I love spending time with my kids who are now 18 and 20 years old and still like hanging around with me. I was always sad when August would roll around and they had to go back to school.

If you are not enjoying being a parent it’s because you are immature and selfish. There is a deep and profound joy available to all parents, but it requires some measure of maturity and self-sacrifice to attain it. If you never grow as a person then you will hate parenthood and resent your children. But those feelings are your fault. A reflection of your defective character. That’s the harsh truth.

Better to struggle while in the will of God and eventually bear fruit than to struggle outside God’s will and have nothing lasting to show for it.

“You are more wicked than ever dared believe and yet, you are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than you ever dared hope.”

The gospel was never meant to be something that is needed only at the time of conversion. We need the gospel each day to point us back to our fallen state and to his magnificent grace.

Grant me never to lose sight of
the exceeding sinfulness of sin,
the exceeding righteousness of salvation,
the exceeding glory of Christ,
the exceeding beauty of holiness,
the exceeding wonder of grace.
