[1] Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. [2] For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. [3] For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. [4] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
I like to know how things work. That is how my mind operates, so it comes naturally for me to try to understand, comprehend, and process. Relying on my own understanding is the very thing that held me back spiritually for years.
I can't wrap my head around the sanctification process. I should do better. The more I try, the more I struggle and fail. I want to rely on myself. The more I do, the more I get wrong.
Some things were never meant for us to understand. Grace is one of those things. I can't understand it or explain it, but I have experienced it, and it draws me closer to Jesus every day.
