天下父母心

There is so much irony in this life. One of my greatest blessings is also one that I often forget and take for granted. I think God gives us reminders of the good things He has poured, and continues to pour, into our lives. Most of the time, I miss those reminders when I'm busily searching for glittery things to feed egocentric desires.

The human condition depresses me sometimes. If everyone were as depraved as I am, then the world would be a sad, sad place. Indeed, it is sadder than I know. But doesn't the depth of our depravity bring to light the vastness of God's grace and the reality of our need for it? If that's not puzzling, ironic, and altogether awe-inspiring, then nothing is. There is so much reason for excitement in this life.
