Meditations

Flooded with Grace Against Thee, Thee only have I sinned. Psalm 51 verse 4 I have sinned against all your laws. In my pride, my slackness, and my bad example, there is nothing holy in religion that I have not violated. I have even caused offense against your Holy Spirit. I have trampled on the blood of the covenant. I have rejected the former mercies that once penetrated my heart. Lord, I have done every evil thing. I have exhausted every iniquity, but I have not exhausted your mercy. On the contrary, your mercy takes pleasure in overcoming my unworthiness. It rises like a flood over a dyke. In return for so much evil, you give me back everything good. And since you are giving yourself, dear God, to one who has sinned so much, and you are flooding me with grace, shall I refuse to carry my cross along with your Son, who is righteousness and holiness itself?
