You call out to God full of rebellion and mistakes.
Because of His justice, He cannot dismiss sin.
Because of His love, He cannot dismiss you.
So in an act that stunned the heavens,
He punished Himself on the cross for your sins.
God's justice and God's love are equally honored.
And you, God's creation, are forgiven and adopted as sons!"
(Taken from "The Great House of God" by Max Lucado)
