We know that the closer we get to Jesus, the more clearly we see who we are.
Always with the realization of God’s nearness there is neither boasting nor
complacency but awe and reverence and very often bitter self-knowledge. We see more clearly who we are. And so the
response of a grateful, awe-filled heart is often, quite appropriately- I am not
worthy. Noticing the blessing, the undeserved abundance, we see clearly who the
recipient is. It is any of us, who may be blest by God's gracious presence not because of what we may have accomplished but
because of who God is- all love. It’s never been about worth, but always about
love, and the sweet condescension of his mercy, the tenderness we never really
deserve.
