Okay. So…I messed up. I tried to control what wasn’t mine to control. I said what should not have been said. I tried to change what only God can change…if it even needed changing in the first place. And in so doing, I blew it. But God, in His transforming grace and infinite love, is greater.

Greater than all of my pride.

Greater than my impatience.

Greater than my harsh judgments.

Greater.

I don’t know if He will choose to repair what I broke or if He will simply continue to use my brokenness to change me. I only know that He has lovingly, and with the forgiveness He promised, opened my heart to a level of yieldedness I didn’t know I needed but that I’m grateful to put into action. Hands off the control panel. He’s got this!

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, NIV).

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10, NIV).
