At that time . . . Genesis 38:1a
I got to admit there are parts of the Bible that I just have to pause in the middle of reading and ask why?
Why is this even in here?
Stop for a moment and consider this . . .
Prior to the mid-1800s the Bible was the only historical record for the world prior to 500 BC. History is never pretty. History contains the good, the bad, and the downright ugly parts of our past. Except in the cases when we choose to revise history so that we are made to look better.
I guess that is what I appreciate about the Bible. The Bible is the story of God's love for us. The Bible is not a revised history of mankind.
There we are in the pages of the Bible with all of our imperfections on display.
AND despite all those imperfections, God chooses to speak to us, walk with us, and love us.
So, quit trying to gloss over you imperfections. Admit your faults (God calls them sin) and accept God's love.
God's been doing that since time began.
