reality

It's funny. Last week, I found myself blinded to sin and unaware of my depravity. I asked to be reminded of it.. This week, I find myself confronted by how utterly human and selfish I actually am, and how self-seeking my intentions are. Oh, the repercussions of being the daughter of Eve.

In need of grace..

notes

Reading Calvin's Institutes..

Reminded that it is only when we see God and understand goodness by His standard that we are able to recognize how short we fall of His glory. Desensitization to sin comes as a result of not beholding His absolute perfection. Ergo, as we come to know God more fully, we uncover the great depth of our own fallibility and sin. We recognize our need for Him.
