We ask as a way to impugn God (31:35)
God asks as a way to restore us (38:4)
We see what can only be shown (42:5-6)
God gives what can never be deserved (42:10)
Misguided anger makes us miss the mercy of God
Our anger gets misguided
God’s anger is perfect
Our mercy runs out
God’s mercy overflows
Seeing reality sets us up to serve with joy.
You are here: a clearer view of ourselves (9-10)
Here I am: a greater vision of God (11-14)
Here we go: God’s invitation of grace (15-18)
Things are much worse than we think
Life is much more than we imagine.
God’s grace takes us beyond our hope.
Ordinary things consecrated to God become instruments of his divine purpose
God’s purpose requires God’s instrument
God’s instrument requires God’s ownership
God’s ownership requires our consecration
