.: big enough :.

The Father's heart is big enough...
...big enough for my weaknesses
...big enough for my frailties
...big enough for my sinful habits
...big enough for my idolatry
...big enough for my inconsistencies
...big enough for my fearfulness
...big enough for my shame
...big enough for my own hardened heart
...big enough for my carelessness
...big enough for my apathy
...big enough for my foolishness
...big enough for my insecurities
...big enough for my small visions
...big enough for my misspent passion
...big enough for my misplaced sense of security
...big enough for my defensiveness
...big enough for my overreactions
...big enough for my refusing at times to hold on
...big enough for my wanderings
...big enough for my cynicism
...big enough for my tight grip on everything but Him
...big enough for my covered over compromises
...big enough for my investments in my own kingdom
...big enough for my fruitless searches for life elsewhere
...big enough for my acting out of woundedness.

The Father's heart is by far large enough for all these things... and even more! Large enough to still love me, to not forsake me, to not give up on me... to even know me better than I know myself, and to continue to call me to be what I was created to be. And amidst all these shortcomings and failures, it is big enough to still invite me into something that I could never have received apart from Christ's work on my behalf.
