it was ok

I was hopeful this was going to bless my devotional time, but it ended up making me feel more burdened over how sinful and "not broken enough" I was. It was a good call for the need for repentance and to be broken over our sins, but Christ is presented here as more of an example, than a Savior. He modeled surrender and submission and we need to be like Him. I agree, but I would have liked to hear more about how His KINDNESS leads me to repentance. He does mention coming to the cross, but it is more just to repent and not enough emphasis on why it's a time to rejoice. Yes, we need to see our sins more, but please show me a Savior, who has far greater grace in His heart than sin in mine. As Robert Murray McCheyne used to say, "For every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ." Amen!
