cruising Twitter this evening, I stumbled across this prayer

“Oh Allah, change me until You love me.”

and thought how sad it must be to live life uncertain

never knowing how you stood with the god you serve

until it’s far to late to make amends

this is the difference!

the unknowing is all the difference

this is what separates my faith from any other

I do not serve a capricious god, a god whose love is earned

a god with whom my standing is not known

until it’s far too late to make amends

I serve God

the one, true, holy God

the perfect God above all gods

whose love for me precedes my change

whose love for me makes sure my salvation

whose love for me is undeserved and without end
