Head vs. Heart: A Wonderful Example of God's Grace

As I sit typing what might actually be my first blog on my I-device, I am saddened with the realization that one small letter can hold great implications.  Because there is a tendency within the heart of this blogger to focus on the I am instead upon the great I AM, much of the advice I write seems to fall silently upon my own ears.

You see, if you are like me you know what you should do in terms of sharing the Gospel.  You know its truth and power -- that is to say intellectually speaking you know it -- you know that it is the true hope for the world, but for some reason or another that head knowledge has not fully found its way down to the heart.  It has yet to become true heart knowledge.

Within this in mind, I am left with but few options.

1.  I can choose to remain where I am and never fully reach the place the great I AM wants me to be.   The position of hypocrite, lunatic, or liar . . .

OR

2.  I can throw myself at the feet of the cross, seek forgiveness, and allow HIS great mercy and love to pick me up! dust me off! and send me on my way with a renewed passion for HIS glory!

Seems like a no-brainer. . .
