    Forgive isn’t a feeling, little bro. It’s something you do.”

    “how can he fail to lavish upon us all he has to give?” (Romans 8:32 NEB).

    The point is that we are rebels against God. We shout, “God, I don’t want you to be my king! I want a kingless kingdom! Even better, a kingdom in which Iam king!” We stage a revolution. We storm God’s castle, put on his crown, and sit on his throne. We roar, “I want to run my own life, thank you very much!” We tell God to get out, get lost, and not come back. You and I are world-class rebels. So is every single person who has taken a breath.

    The problem is that unlike Jesus, we’re not faultless. We’re fault-filled. And right near the top is our desire to be in control. We want things our own way. Even when we try to do right, sooner or later we end up blowing it again. An insult slips off the tongue. A promise is put on the shelf. A relationship is fouled, a class failed. And God is left behind, forgotten more quickly than yesterday’s homework.
    You and I are world-class rebels.

    It’s not that God doesn’t want us to enjoy life. He’s all for it. He created us for it. But when we decide that we’re in charge, he doesn’t let it slide. There are consequences. He lets us face the misery that comes from our mistakes. He prefers that we learn to follow his amazing plan instead of flounder with our own.

    Grace changed him. Let it change you. Reject Satan’s voice. You “have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). As your Advocate, he defends you and says on your behalf, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). Take that, Satan!

    God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him.

    This is what gracemeans: saved by God, raised by God, seated with God. You’ve heard the devil’s insults and believed them. Stupid. Lazy. Slow learner. Fast-talker. Quitter. No longer. You are who your Creator says you are: Spiritually alive. Connected to God. Awake to your potential. A billboard of mercy. An honored child.
