Inhaling Unbelief and Exhaling Disobedience.

Thoughts prompted by Ephesians 2 in the Message translation of the Bible.

Eph 2 - The world doesn't know the first thing about living.  Sometimes we fill our lungs with polluted unbelief and then we exhale disobedience.  Oh, God.  What a perfect description of what we do - I do!
Then You, in immense mercy and grace and incredible love, embrace us.  You make us alive in Christ.  Then You pick us up and set us down in the highest company with Jesus, Our Messiah. 
v. 8 Now, God, you have us where You want us and You have all the time in this world, and the next one, to shower grace and kindness upon us in  Christ.  WOW!
