Fixed now. Thanks for letting me know. <br /><br />I really like your reference to "rivers of grace," that captures His heart toward us well.Mike Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971102076711413290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400340423678181828.post-31120130333125965052015-06-17T12:22:31.099-05:002015-06-17T12:22:31.099-05:00Powerful insight, Mike.

I'm assuming the reference here is vs. 40-42, since v. 42 introduces the reason, the way they caused His grief and pain.<br /><br />I have no doubt the most significant way I display my poor memory is by forgetting the way the Lord has poured rivers of grace into and over me my entire life - beginning with His blood shed on the cross. The tentacles of this shame reach into every area of my life. In reality, having given me Christ, everything else He has done for me taken together doesn't amount to anything. Having died for me why should I expect anything else?<br /><br />Yet He does. I remember years ago John Stott commenting on Hebrews 2:18 observed, "If God gave us the package, why would He withhold the wrapping?" <br /><br />My dear, godly wife always saw the wrapping along with the package and rejoiced in the finger of God in multiple actions no matter how difficult the day,<br /><br />Me? I always see what He didn't do...and I weep with shame.chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631165961382647198noreply@blogger.com
