Ye call Me Master and obey me not,
Ye call Me Light and see Me not,
Ye call Me Way and walk not,
Ye call Me Life and desire Me not,
Ye call Me wise and follow Me not,
Ye call Me fair and love Me not,
Ye call Me rich and ask Me not,
Ye call Me eternal and seek Me not,
Ye call Me gracious and trust Me not,
Ye call Me noble and serve Me not,
Ye call Me mighty and honor Me not,
Ye call Me just and fear Me not,
If I condemn you, blame me not.

All of us fall so short of God and are so undeserving of His love. Thankful for grace and mercy am I.

Yes, we do all fall short, and today was especially one of those days where I could see just how short I fall. I have to repent for being such a grouch today.

I posted this on my blog the other day and linked back to you, but I thought I should offer the perspective that God doesn’t actualy condemn us, we do that all by ourselves. Still this is a very thoughtful and insightful quote.
God Bless you!
