Dear Servant,
Of course I could! By the power of my spirit I could do a miracle in your life. I could overcome that sin that so easily trips you up. You could walk on and not even notice the temptation. If I did that, what would be different in your heart? Would you value my mercy and sacrifice more? Would you value our relationship more?
Salvation is a constant act. I constantly forgive and cleanse, overlooking your faults through the blood of my son. You constantly fail, find additional areas of hidden sin, confront old sins you thought you had overcome and continually struggle with a frail, sinful, human existence. You come to me and confess. You open your heart and share the sin and failings and beg for my mercy. I forgive, cleanse and restore and we have sweet fellowship. In this process many good things happen. You humble yourself and acknowledge that salvation is a work of my grace, not your obtaining perfection. You also grow to trust and love me, knowing that no sin will separate you from my love. In this daily battle you slowly, sometimes painfully, become more and more like my son.
Constantly saving you, I AM
