There is a pastor I like named Tim Keller, of Redeemer Church of New York City. I have probably listened to over 20 sermons of his on tape or online. I kid you not - each sermon has been good for my soul. He has this saying that he would use all the time in sermons:
We are more sinful than we could ever realize,
and we are more loved than we could ever imagine. (paraphrase, because I can't remember the exact quote.)
I thought I understood what that meant. But really, I am understanding now, after 15 years of following Jesus, how deep is my sin, how broken I am, and yet still, how loved I am. Only God could hold all these things together.
As a friend recently wrote to me, "God is SO BIG and SO SMART." Yeah, I think so too.
