The God Who Satisfies With Mercy & Grace

If there's one profound takeaway from the book, The God Who Satisfies by Chris Anderson, it's that Jesus seeks sinners. He is a friend to and a seeker of sinners. It's what He does. Aren't you just oh so thankful?!

When Jesus approached the Samaritan woman, He didn't need to ask about her need. He already knew. He knew because He is God. He was already seeking her because He is Grace. He knew her need and still He sought her out. Just like He does us!

"Jesus loves broken people. He came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10). He came into the world to save filthy sinners like us (I Timothy 1:15), and by saving the very worst of us He shows His ability to save any of us (I Timothy 1:16). That's the lesson we learn from the woman at the well, the object of Christ's affection and a trophy of His power to save." —Chris Anderson

There Are Worms in My Garden of Unforgivingness

We have become farmers. Tomato farmers to be more specific. We've actually been quite the overachievers in the tomato farming business this year! If you see us, you'll most likely receive a bag of complimentary cherry or grape tomatoes. It's apparently what we're called to do.

Along with tomato farming comes worms, notably the tomato hornworm or Manduca quinquemaculata. Seriously, that's his legal name. He's a vicious little creature that can destroy a tomato plant in a single afternoon. He too is an overachiever!

Watching this little, actually quite big, hornworm eat away at our tomato plants reminds me of the lack of forgiveness that can eat away at our souls. Yes, unforgivingness is like having worms eating away at my soul!
