You deserve to be punished. But I will treat you in a way that will bring honour to my name, and you will know that I am the Lord God
(Ezekiel 20:44; CEV).
Despite my pride
And ignorance,
Despite my envy, Lord;
Despite my greed
And foolishness,
Despite my judgements, Lord;
Despite my hate
And selfishness,
Despite my anger, Lord;
Despite my guilt
And sinfulness:
You love me.
He loves us with unfailing love
(Psalm 117:2; NLT).
There is nothing more humbling than the love of Almighty God for sinners such as me.
