Creatures Of Dust

 Creatures of Dust

He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.

PSALM 103:14

The tender patience of your Father toward you can be one of the most comforting aspects of your grace walk. We all tend to be hard on ourselves at times. We find ourselves disappointed that we didn’t do better in a given situation. We may criticise ourselves or even feel disgust when we look at our shortcomings.

Your Father doesn’t have that kind of critical attitude toward you. Jesus lived in this world as a man, and He understands what it is to live in a human body. He sits beside the right hand of His Father right now and, as a man, mediates your humanity to the Father. The wonder of that reality is that God understands.

He isn’t angry toward you. He isn’t impatient. He isn’t frustrated because you won’t get your act together. Your Father is patient and kind, tenderly working in your life to bring you to maturity. He won’t give up on you but will lovingly nurture you toward becoming the person outwardly He has already made you to be on the inside. Just trust Him and show yourself plenty of grace. He does.
