there are some things i know about

Some of the things I know the most about are the things I really know least well.

The Gospel of freedom and grace is something I know a lot about. Tons even. Galatians statement that we have "been set free for freedom" is implanted on my brain.

But many times (countless times) I will sin and immediately and guiltily avoid God. I'll feel such a burden that it is hard to breath and I'll feel it for weeks or months. Multiply that by the number of times I catch sin and it ends up being quite the weighty package.

And so, the Gospel that I know so well, is the thing that I know the least. I pray that someday I'll know the true scope of the Grace that saves me.
