I've been thinking about how very sinful I am. Particularly as my sin affects those I love. All sin is ULTIMATELY treason against a Holy God, but that does not mean that my sinful behavior doesn't have an impact on anyone but myself. In fact, because Someone is ALWAYS Watching, my guess would be that my sin always impacts someone else in a negative way... I started down this path by thinking back on my parenting mistakes as I sat up with one of my Crew, post-nightmare, in the early morning hours. And it makes me SO SAD! I want to cry when I think about my wicked heart and how it has hurt my children. Like when I yell at them. Or when I punish them in my anger. Or when I ignore them. And then I see them imitating my sinful example. =(
But God...
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD! O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption. And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalms 130:1-8
