So I wonder sometimes, why does God still allow me to sin?
Well, today I realized...
1) Every time I sin, it brings me back to the cross and onto my knees.
2) It humbles me because it reminds my prideful self that I can't beat sin out of my own will and strength.
3) It makes me dependent on God's power for victory, because apart from Christ I can do nothing.
4) It shows me how amazing the grace of God is, to save a sinner like me.
It's in the darkest of hours when you see the beauty of the stars. Oh how much more beautiful is grace in times of sin! It's after I sin when I feel nearest to God. Funny, I guess a little sin can be a good thing... sometimes. Haha.
