Saved For Disappointment

Alright, I must have hit a bit of a nerve saying that God is happy with us. We must like to be miserable in some ways, maybe it gives us a sense of control. But in being so miserable we let our sin, sin that has been, through faith, paid for on the cross by the suffering and death of the son of God, we let that sin run our lives. It commands our thinking throughtout thae day and leads to our loathsome attitudes. Another Brown quote from “A Scandalous Freedom” says:

“I believe that, from an existential viewpoint, one of the greatest sin Christians can commit is a constant focus on their sin.”

We say that we trust Jesus to forgive us and save us from sin, death and the Devil, then we act as if the rest is up to us! No way. We are God’s workmanship, we are God’s project and he’s happy about it! He likes you! As a matter of fact he’s nuts about you! All of us need the reminder to quit the constant self-focus and turn to Christ. He is all we need, he is everything we could ever desire to be! He is not disappointed in you, child! Even when he has to take you out to the woodshed for a "straightening out" he still likes you!
