The other day I was struggling with
my sin. I felt horrible that I had had this sin festering in my heart. I prayed
for God’s forgiveness. Then from deep down in my soul I heard a prayer rising.
Before I knew what was happening I was praying out loud to God. “Thank you God
that I can’t boast. Thank you that Your love is real even in the midst of my
sin. Thank you that I can’t be proud of myself.” As soon as these words left my
mouth, I was confused. God was helping me to praise Him for my pain and sin. It
sounds so weird and yet it’s true.
I thank God to this day that sin reminds me
that I am nothing without Him. As painful as fire is, I am thankful that it
presses me closer to God. I don’t seek trouble or hardship. But I do see how
God can use for good and I am grateful for it.
