How Can a God?
How can a God be so patient —
Waiting, waiting,
Until I’m ready to receive Him.
How can a God be so loving,
Despite the weeds of sin
In the garden of my life?
How can a God suffer for us
When we cause Him
So much suffering?
How can a God die for us?
The answer must be —
So that we can live with Him.
Who Can Stand?
“If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.” (Psalm 130:3-4)
Wow! Indeed, who can stand before a holy, pure God? If He were like humans, He would have destroyed us long ago. Humans constantly find fault with one another. But the Lord is patient and kind. Yes, we will suffer consequences for our sins, but unlike many people, once we have repented, God forgets our sins. (see Psalm 103:11-13)
