Kathy is a member of our Catch community who is a seeker and does not know the Lord. She is always quick to give a ‘thumbs up’ when examining the truth of God against who John and I say we are. She likes our transparency, perhaps because she sees a direct contrast between us and the God she is seeking.
When we recognize a heartfelt awareness of our wretchedness, we embrace the significance of the cross in our own lives and for all His people everywhere. His glory is seen in contrast to the horribleness of our sin.
Conversely, when we present ourselves as masquerading behind all the “right” things we say we “do for God,” she is quick to tell us how foolish we are, and tells us she is going to hit the delete key and escape from us. I think this is because whatever light she recognizes as Christ is hidden from her view because we are choosing to live within such veiled thoughts as “helping God,” with mild confessions and so-called good intentions, and our sin is not seen for its exceeding sinfulness (Romans 7:13).
Only when our sin is seen for its exceeding sinfulness can God’s grace be seen for its exceeding liberality. Play down your sin and you play down God’s forgiveness. Lessen the damage and you lessen the recovery. Mask the sin and you mask the Savior.
The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more. (Romans 5:20)

Bam!
Yup, I have been aware of this for a little while now and stll I fall into the pit of thinking I am (or even could) helping God. It is only when I admit my weakness and share it with others and God that God is revealed in my life and others are reached.
We have to be made aware of our sin before we can be saved. It’s the ONLY way. Sounds like God is dealing with her. All we can do is pray and show her what life is like with God in it.
Sometimes I remind myself of God’s (all-)mightiness to keep myself humble. God’s power is so mind boggling that I sometimes wonder what to say or do as he knows my thoughts even before *I* know them. He knows all my sins, including those sins I have not even committed yet! He simply knows everything. He knows the things we are about to tell him even before we do, he recognises our lies for what they are and he also knows those things that we do not explicitly tell him! Lying to such an almighty God is therefore simply a waste of time and energy.
Still, in a way this is also a very comforting thought. God knows everything about us, and is still willing to reach out to us. If this is not a clear proof for the love he feels for us, then I do not know what else it is!
