Safety Net

I cannot deny that I am a fickle creature, prone to sink deep into emotions and quick to stray from the Lord and forget his love. And yet, there is an aspect to my relationship with Christ that I have come to appreciate, and it is His grace and mercy. As a Christian, I am free to express myself honestly before the Lord and free to mess up and stumble and wander because there is a safety net around me. True, as Christians we should never take the Lord's grace and mercy for granted, but what I have come to realize these days is that His grace is never far from me - it is there to catch me when I stumble.

The thing is, I see myself go through moments when I experience waves of despair and hopelessness but in perspective, even these things are experienced within the safety net of God's grace. He will never remove His presence from me, and there is an overarching hope that I can constantly come back to. It is God's hesed love, it is his unchanging character and faithfulness. And for that, my only response is one of worship.
