“TO GIVE EVERY MAN!”

 Jeremiah 17:9-10                        (ESV)

    “[9] THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS,

        and DESPERATELY SICK;

        who can understand it? 

    [10] “I the LORD search the heart

        and test the mind,

    “TO GIVE EVERY MAN” according to his ways,

        according to the fruit of his deeds.”

Where does GOD’S GRACE intervene and PREVENT us being apart of HIM giving “TO GIVE EVERY MAN” according to his ways???  The idea that I would expect to receive that which “I have earned” can bring a sense of dread or turmoil to a life?  That every time I hastily dished out my idea of JUSTICE instead of GRACE literally makes me nauseous, if I am honest.  

Thankfully, we have the HOPE OF CHRIST JESUS to intervene on our behalf. We can TRUST that HE has GRACE “TO GIVE EVERY MAN”, unless they choose to have JUDGEMENT come on them instead of THEIR CREATOR???  

I CHOOSE JESUS!  I CHOOSE LIFE!  I CHOOSE to allow HIS PAYMENT for my sins to be my redemption!!!
