Every few days, amybe once a week, my friend Dave McCarty of GospelFriendships.com, sends me (and many others) an email of his thoughts concerning our relationship with a holy God. I had not intended to blog again today, but this was just so stinking perfect that I had to give you all at least a taste of it. He is one of the godliest and most humble men that I know, and has the ability to routinely point out the idols that my heart creates as I try to establish righteousness through effort and self-strength. Thank God for people in our lives, sent by God, to encourage us and to challenge us and to convict us through the Holy Spirit's leading!
"Everything about your life today, is perfect.
Nothing in your life today, could be more perfect. You do not know how to go about improving on things, changing things, for the remainder of this day, week, but He does, because He is perfect, and knows you perfectly, and has a perfect plan for your day, week, month, year, rest of your life....
He is the Lover of your soul, pursuing an intimate relationship with you. Perfectly. He has never made a mistake, and He never will. Suffering is His instrument, His gracious tool, to train you to bask in His unconditional love. So you operate more and more in out-of-character ways: instead of your normal idolatrous ways. Others wowed, you wowed."
You can check out Dave's site at gospelfriendships.com, and the emails are free (although he is entirely support-based in ministry). He is a great guy, and consistently hits the gospel of grace squarely on the head.

By the way, the website address listed on your post is not working.
