I must give props where props are due so before I get any further I want you all to know that my son brought the title of this post to mind. It was kinda out of the blue last night while I was cooking when he mentioned it, but I thank God for His timing.
He just came up to me and stated, “Mama, we’ve had it wrong for a long time. You know how everyone is always saying , ‘God doesn’t bless mess’…He does…He blesses us all the time and we’re pretty messed up!
Such wisdom from a child….so glad God thought to bless me with him!
Of course he was absolutely correct….I’ve even said that old cliche’ myself…but I admit that when I have it was usually with a self-righteous attitude….
Yep…I thank God for renewing my mind to the realization that I HAVE NOT ARRIVED…so I don’t have to worry about those ugly little thoughts anymore.
Regardless, what my son so eloquently reminded me was so profound that I literally woke up rejoicing that God’s mercies are indeed new every morning!
That said, this is not a license to do whatever you want because you can!
Rather, this is reassurance that though God knew the wrong you were going to do before you knew you the wrong you would do, He still chose to unconditionally love YOU…
EVEN IN YOUR MESS!!!
He loves YOU so much in fact that He took the time to set His thrown aside, step into YOUR shoes, walk through YOUR valleys, carry YOUR cross, and be condemned in YOUR place. He loves YOU enough to lay His life on the line so YOU wouldn’t have to do it. And it wasn’t forced.
So even when I don’t get this Christian walk right, it’s refreshing to know that God’s love blesses me even while I’m in my mess.
Better Not Bitter 
I want to hear from you! Tell me what you think!
