Old Truths

I have a very simple thought that's just up my heart today.

It's that God didn't just come and find me to forgive the sin I'd committed. He chased me down with knowledge of all the sin that lay before me.

He knew about the times i would run from Him, the times I'd doubt Him, the times I think I know better than Him, the times I worship His creation instead of Him, the times I blatantly choose wicked things over Him. and on and on.

He knew how badly my future sin would impugn on His righteousness.
He knew that I would disrespect Him through my words and actions despite the fact that I would know the Truth.
And despite the fact that He allowed me to catch a glimpse of His Glory, I would still run at times and slander the God I claim to love. He knew all my sins from the moment I was born. All my sins were future sins. So when I feel guilty over my sin, He already knew. That sin might be a shock to me, but He already knew. Yet He called me still.

He knew I would basically betray Him before He saved me. Yet He still sought me out.
He still called me, He still pursued me, He still chased me down.
He calls me His own and I can't even fathom the depth of that kind of love.

Yeah i know that's very basic. But sometimes old truths present themselves in a new light.
